The most notable of these was Dylan Thomas (128) with 10 wins from 20 runs and £3,368,912 in earnings. You could say it runs in the family, but Frankel was on another level, even compared to these horses!
Frankel absolutely destroys the field in the 2000 Guineas
Frankel’s Race Record
Frankel’s record is nothing short of impressive. He beat 23 different Group 1 winners by a cumulative winning distance of over 76 lengths. On ground varying from Good to Firm to Soft, he excelled just about everywhere. Newmarket, Ascot, Goodwood. You name it, he won it.
