Today sees Frankel tackle the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and everyone is expecting what is a truly great horse to be crowned as one of the best racing has ever seen.
But here at Winners Bet Winners some of us have our doubts.
Frankel was unbeaten as a two-year-old and ran exceptionally well with many of the horses he beat going on to win other high quality group races.
His debut this season was in the Greenham at Newbury and he was fresh and lively and won the race with ease.
In the ratings he is miles ahead of anything else but, as I say, some of us here are unsure that he will pull off the Guineas.
The going is good to firm (in places) and we've seen lots of decent horses being turned over here.
The course itself has some troubling undulations. This hilly nature means horses are forced to overreach and that can hurt, and Frankel has a high stride that looks much more suited to the soft ground he raced on last October at Newmarket in the Dewhurst.
The doubters among us may be proved wrong and Frankel may overcome the conditions and that's what will make him a truly great horse which will be a boost to racing.
* I see Rob Wright in The Times is tipping against Frankel. He is opting for Pathfork. It's a bold prediction and one which makes sense though the Irish horse hasn't run this term yet.
It's a great line-up and is sure to be a great race.
