I was at Ascot to see this mighty champion run his last race. In winning the Champion Stakes, he thrashed the second highest rated horse in the world, Cirrus De Aigles and 4th highest rated, Nathaniel. IMO he is the greatest we've seen and it's a privilege to have seen him in the flesh. He retires unbeaten in 14 races, winning by an aggregate of over 70 lengths. No one came close to beating him and he did so much much for his trainer, Sir Henry Cecil who is battling cancer. I will never forget this horse and what he and his legacy will and have done for British racing. Thank you Frankel, if any of your foals are are half as good as you then we are in for a treat. I OWN NOTHING BUT THE EDITING.

1998 Breeders' Cup Mile + Post Race [13:40]
Regardless of the odds it is not wise to dismiss any horse trained by Michael Dickinson. The lesson was manifested dramatically this afternoon as Da Hoss, at 11-1 odds and in only his second start after a 22-month layoff, won the $1 million Breeders' Cup Mile for the second time in three years. With a half-furlong remaining the 6-year-old gelding appeared beaten as another long shot, Hawksley Hill, pushed his nose in front on the outside. But under the jockey John Velazquez, who had never had a Breeders' Cup mount before this year, Da Hoss rallied and prevailed by a head at the wire. The final time for the race on a turf course rated firm was 1:351/5 , three-fifths of a second faster than the clocking when Da Hoss won the Breeders' Cup Mile at Woodbine in Toronto in 1996 under Gary Stevens. This time, he returned $25.20 for a $2 win ticket. Miesque, a champion in both Europe and North America, won consecutive runnings of the Mile in 1987-88, as did Lure in 1992-93. But in many respects Da Hoss's twin triumphs are more extraordinary, because the only start he made between them was a three-quarter-length victory in allowance company at Colonial Downs in Virginia on Oct. 11. Da Hoss has been plagued with physical problems since he was a foal. ''A fetlock when he was a foal,'' Dickinson said, ''a pair of bone spurs as a yearling, another fetlock in June of last year, some lameness last fall. There have been some vet bills. His groom spends six hours a day with him, massaging ...
