Champion of Champions?

For a short time during Frankel's final appearance last Saturday I thought it was all going to unravel and end in tears.He missed the start markedly and mid race for a few strides didn't seem to be going that well.One the field straightened up however he came there tanking along and soon put the race away.Whilst it wasn't as spectacular as the York victory it was most emphatic and considering the state of the ground and the opposition you couldn't possibly do anything but give it a massive "thumbs up".
Has there ever been a better racehorse?He's  been utterly dominant since his debut back at  Newmarket in August two years ago.His 2000 Guineas win was simply breathtaking.This year he's been even better, running away with the Queen Anne at the Royal meeting by 11 lenths with the outstanding Excelebration a distant second.When stepped up to 10 furlongs at York in August he was equally magnificent effortlessly routing a quality field.
Frankel is the best I've seen in my lifetime and perhaps he is the all time equine " Champion of Champions".
