There was concern a few weeks ago that Frankel would miss his 2012 debut due to a minor injury. Those worries turn turned out to be not a problem. The Galileo colt returned to the races a winner on Saturday blowing by rabbit Bullet Train (who also happens to be his big brother) and winning with ease.

So what's next for the #1 horse in the world? Most likely Royal Ascot in either the mile for older OR stretching out to a mile and a quarter. It will be interesting where he goes. While I doubt he'll come for the Breeders' Cup, it would be awesome if he did. I feel that had he come last year and had won the Mile he would have been Champion 3yo Male.
I'm also wondering what his namesake Bobby Frankel would have said? Would he have minded that Juddmonte named a horse after him. His daughter Bethenny does know about him. One thing's for sure, he would be happy to see that he has fans all over the world.
