always felt he didn't spend much time on the ground when he was galloping. It was something we always noticed. He was very quickly through his stride and on to the next one. His stride was also very long and he was relaxed which allowed him to get a mile and a half. His sire Lyphard wouldn't have got a mile and a half in a horsebox." Sea The Stars : A half-brother to Frankel's sire Galileo, he won eight of his nine starts. His only defeat came in his first ever race. He was not over tested at two but won all six starts at three in 2009 including 2,000 Guineas, Derby, Eclipse, International, Irish Champion and Arc. Mick Kinane (Jockey) "He was the overall package. He had no faults mentally or physically and he stayed sound. Great horses have to have that extra pace which means they can go fast comfortably for a long time. That separates them from the horses around them. A trait of his which was very different from Frankel is that he never did more than he had to. His biggest winning margin was two and a half lengths so he never had a hard race and there was always loads left. That contributed to the fact that he was as fresh for the Arc as he was for the Guineas. Of the other great I can only remember Mill Reef being as exuberant as Frankel.
