At the end of his staggering juvenile career and sensational three-year-old campaign, the outstanding Frankel was a five-time Group One winner and unbeaten in nine starts.

Brilliantly narrated by the late Tom O'Ryan, we take you right back to the very start of Frankel's journey and tell you all about those most closely associaed with the abundantly talented yet young, wilful tearaway who matured and blossomed into a simply unbeatable racing machine.

We look back at his scintillating victories, including that 2000 Guineas victory which ranks as one of the most remarkable performances ever seen in over 300 years of the sport. Relive Frankel's famously anticipated duel with outstanding miler Canford Cliffs in the 'Duel Of The Downs' at Goodwood besides and plenty more too.

Frankel would be kept in training as a four-year-old and, a more physically mature racehorse who had mentally developed from his younger, more wilful days, looked simply unbeateable in a brilliant campaign which included a sensational victory by 11 lengths in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot and destroying a top-class field by seven lengths in the Juddmonte International at York.

Frankel retired unbeaten, 14 wins from 14 races, and a 10-time Group One winner. The best ever? Plenty would very likely nod their heads in answer to that.
