So, I'm going to ask this......not to be a pest, but to get an education.
Isn't wanting to terminate a racehorse's racing career in favour of a stud career, a bit like living on the never-never? And wouldn't such a decision look all the more peculiar, when one is talking about an animal so self-evidently brilliant as Frankel?
I can understand the desire to see his offspring race, but what of the here-and-now?
From what I've read on here, almost everyone seems to acknowledge that he is the horse of a lifetime, so I can't fathom why you would want to pack him off to stud, rather than see him put the entire game to bed, by winning the Arc -undoubtedly the greatest Flat race in the world.
Why would you sacrifice that opportunity? In the hope that one of the hundreds of foals he sires over the next 10 years turns out to be only a stone inferior?
If this horse is the freak that most suggest, enjoy him to the fullest, and actively campaign to get him in the Arc. That way, you might experience a worthwhile fraction of the delirium created when Kauto won his 5th King George.
You lot should be starting a Arc run Facebook jobbie - not talking about his fecking babies.
