What makes the profile of Frankel so remarkable is the fact that this horse has never finished any lower than first in a race. These are not bad contests either; three first class races, one second class race and a fourth class race.

Frankel is the clear favourite to win the Epsom Derby and it is easy to see why there is a lot of hype surrounding this HRA Cecil horse. Flat races tend to be dominated by the favourites a little bit more and some have already accepted that the writing is on the wall.

Debut of Frankel

The debut of Frankel came in an eight furlong sprint at Newmarket on August 13 last year. Frankel suffered a bad start in this race and pushed from the back to eventually win by half a length. The manner of this recovery and the speed the horse deployed impressed many pundits within horse racing.

The debut of Frankel was backed up with a second win over seven furlongs at Doncaster roughly one month later. On that occasion Frankel sat in behind the leader before attacking inside the final two for a four length win. The horse did not look under pressure at any stage which was a distinct sign of quality.

Reasons to Bet on Frankel

There are many reasons to bet on Frankel in future Horse Racing Betting markets. Consistency has to be the main reason because a horse regularly finishing well is the clearest sign that it has something special.

Frankel is the Epsom Derby Betting favourite because of this consistency. Versatility is another of the reasons to bet on Frankel. Although this horse has only raced five times, the wins have come in different manners and prove a bad start is not the end of the world.



Racing style is one of the main reasons to back this horse in any Sports Betting field. It takes net to no time for Frankel to hit full stride and top speed. The horse cuts a very impressive picture inside the final two to three furlongs because the racing style of the horse allows the speed to be a little higher than the majority of competitors.
