At the moment we can only say that Frankel is one of the best milers (perhaps the best) we have seen, which probably undervalues him. Which is why he will almost certainly be stepped up in distance at some point. The scary thing is he may be even better at 10 furlongs.

If Camelot wins the Triple Crown and Frankel doesn't prove he is more than a one trick pony he could be in danger of being eclipsed in the history books. Tudor Minstrel was a brilliant miler (virtually the equivalent of Sea-Bird in brilliance of performance) but Nijinsky tends to be remembered as the better horse, although the ratings won't bear that out.
