At distance that know Frankel will stay, which right now is anywhere between 8f and 10-1/2f proven, I think he'd make Camelot look just as ordinary as he made Canford Cliffs look at a mile and St Nicholas Abbey at 10-1/2f. Because Frankel's an altogether different kind of animal. That being said, any 3yr.old still unbeaten with wins in the G1 English 2000 Guineas, G1 Epsom Derby, and G1 Irish Derby already on their resume' is pretty special in his own right. But TOMO.
Over any distance that we know for sure that Frankel will stay, which right now would be from 8f to 10-1/2f, he'd make Camelot as ordinary as he made Canford Cliffs look at 8f or St Nicholas Abbey look at 10-1/2f, IMO. And that's not a knock at Camelot because any 3yr.old that can win the English 2000 Guineas, Epsom Derby, and Irish Derby in the same season is tremendously gifted. But the speed that Frankel possesses by extension puts him in a league all his own.
Agreed. Unfortunately, he is in the shadows of Frankel, though he is a very talented horse.
I believe he could become the next Frankel, once the Superstar retires at the end of the year, but they are in two different classes. One is a 3yo, the other is 4/5yo, plus there distance preferences are different, I believe.
