Every time Jim McGrath mentions ‘he’ in the Arc commentary from the turn, he is referring to Sea the Stars.

It’s great to be able to say you saw the greatest of all time.

I love giving it to the tans. They think Frankel was the one, he wasn’t fit to lace STS boots
The fact kinane was dismissed by coolmore and also the fact they’d screwed over sea the stars made it much better also.
For all the success of ballydoyle and cool more have had it must annoy them they could have had both frankel and sea the stars but had neither.

Frankel was very overrated. I don’t care what anyone thinks

To be fair he was one of the greatest but what STS did in that magical season will never be matched. That is why he’s the greatest. @BruidheanChaorthainn whats his stud progeny been like?

He’s done well but he’s been poorly supported imo. Coolmore haven’t used him really and that’s tough to get around.
Produced some unreal fillies sea of class and obviously a derby winner in harzand plus Stradivarius obviously.

Frankel spent his career racing against donkeys like Faarh and Canford Cliffs over a mile at Newmarket and Ascot.
Sea The Stars raced in Ireland, the UK and France between a mile and a mile and a half and beat them all

Frankel spent his career beating Excelebration.
Has John Oxx had any of STS progeny?

STS took on the cream of the coolmore mafia at the time and dismissed them at his ease
