    Pharlap was sent to America to see if he could be beaten - they poisoned him.

  7. I've heard that as well. I've heard that it was snake venom that they used.

    As far as the older stock (Sea Biscuit, Man of War), I think you have to take each horse by its respective era. They horses are trained and cared for much differently now. I agree that the older horses were sturdier but not as fast.

    Rachel, Rags to riches, Zenyatta, all great race mares. The problem is that they are females. You cannot rate a mare as an all time great because they cannot sire. The real question of a race horse, is not only what they accomplish on the track. The breeding shed is more important in my opinion.
     
  8. They also handicapped the hell out of him to purposely break him down.

    after seeing the horse at york yesterday i am starting to think that maybe frankel is the greatest thoroughbred ever, i do not know if he will stay a mile and a half but over a mile to 10 furlongs the horse is as close to unbeatable as you will ever see. 13 races with 13 wins... 8 group 1 races in a row.
    st nicholas abbey who won the breeders cup turf last year was made to look like a farm horse as frankel won by 7 lengths and was never off the bridle.that has took his winnings to £2,261,072 or $3.6 million ... an amazing animal.
