Frankel was a brilliant talent but he was hard to train. Henry Cecil was helped by the fact Frankel never had to spend a night away from his own stable and it was only at the end of his career that he was asked to stretch to 10f.

The largely forgotten Sea The Stars had a more demanding career, racing only once in his home country as a 3yo and winning top races over 8, 10 and 12 furlongs. Arguably he achieved more than the greatly more celebrated Frankel.

[QUOTE="Grey, post: 2696980, member: 65112"] Frankel was a brilliant talent but he was hard to train.
