Statue of racehorse at York?

[Rummy]

Last summer I was in York for a couple of days (somewhere i've never been before), and as i passed the racecourse a couple of times, i stopped in the evening and had a walk around. The main enclosure was all locked (there was no racing on), but looking through an entrance gate i could see they had a nice statue of a racehorse inside.
Does anyone know who the statue is of please?

To steal a superlative; the incomparable Frankel.

Excellent replies. Thanks.

Did you also notice that the gates through which you were peering are dedicated to the equally incomparable Sir Henry?

Amazing that Frankel gets his own statue, having only run once there. That said, it was arguably his greatest performance.
