Gonna stick me neck out a bit here, again.
With Frankel going to stud - whats his fee?
How close is that to Galileos?
Why not Galileo then, hes proven why take the risk?
Frankel is a small unnatractive colt, by all descriptions.
Commentators talked about his long stride, never seen it myself.
What I did see was a horse whos hind legs moved quicker than anyothers.
There was his key, imho.
The horse was headstrong will he pass this on to his offspring ala Montjeu?
I don't think he is worth the risk in the breeding shed, let Juddmonte support him and I guess the Arabs will also, anything not to use Coolmore, and wait 4/5 years to see what he produces.
How many times have we seen a horse like this fail in the breeding shed?

I agree with you here, his female line has some black type in there but hardly enough to justify that service fee.
