Frankel Wins Sussex Stakes

Le Freak, C'est Chic

The world’s greatest race horse Frankel took his unbeaten run to twelve earlier this afternoon when he landed the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood for a second time, becoming the only horse to ever win the race twice in its history.

Sent off the 1/20 favourite, Frankel once again turned a race in to nothing more than procession to easily score by six lengths under an ultra-confident Tom Queally from Godolphin’s Farhh in second. Richard Fahey’s Gabrial was third while Frankel’s pace-making half brother Bullet Train was last of the four runners.

With 12 wins under his belt at a mile or less Frankel will now be stepped up to 1m2f for his last two races before retirement to stud. His next port of call will be the Juddmonte International at York before reportedly rounding out his career on Champion’s Day at Ascot in the Champion Stakes.
