Frankel – 2011 QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket
10 years of the QIPCO British Champion Series could hardly have got off to a more exhilarating start, could it? Just listen to Newmarket commentator Ian Bartlett’s rising sense of incredulity as one of the most spectacular Classic victories any of us is ever likely to witness unfolded before him. “At halfway Frankel is almost ten lengths clear…. At the bushes Frankel is 15 lengths clear….. Inside the last furlong a horse who is pure class, Frankel has destroyed them from halfway. An amazing performance.”
