Fourth race: The Queen
Elizabeth II Stakes
Initial Quotes
NO
BETTER HORSE EVER
Tom Queally, Frankel's rider,
said after the four-year-old won his 14th race in a row: "Frankel is
just getting more and more relaxed as time goes on and he just waited until
the gates opened today. He travelled around well and I was happy all of the
way.
"I walked the track and I
was a little bit worried about the conditions. But, having walked it in the
home straight, I knew that it wasn't too heavy for him to quicken up, go
about his business and win.
"It's always a concern -
you want every angle covered and everything in your favour. From that
respect, there is always a little worry but he was in great heart today and
he looked a lot better than this day 12 months ago."
Sir Henry Cecil
, Frankel's trainer, said: "He was labouring on the ground
and not happy on it but he was very relaxed throughout. I have probably got
him too relaxed - it used to be the other way.
"In the end, he had plenty
in hand. I cannot believe in the history of racing that there has ever been a
better racehorse.
"I have enjoyed every
moment of training him, although it has been slightly stressful at times.
He's the best that I have ever had and the best that I ever seen."
