mowgli77 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Re: Frankel & Sir Henry Cecil There must have been a preview screening as someone on Twitter saw it the other night and said it was wonderful and emotional. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheerluck Holmes Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Great show, really emotional. Even the Mrs, who was no interest in horse racing, was wrapped up in it. Thought it was a little bit odd that there was no words from Tom Queally though ... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavlar17 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Really enjoyed watching that. Great story, really emotional seeing the connection between the two. Would recommend giving it a watch. Brings back some fantastic memories which we should all be grateful to have witnessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just felt it was best keeping the show about the relationship between Sir Henry & Frankel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheerluck Holmes Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Maybe just felt it was best keeping the show about the relationship between Sir Henry & Frankel Yeah, true, but they did have Frankel's work rider and head lass etc giving opinions. Great documentary nevertheless. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowgli77 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I watched it this week as I'd recorded it. Enjoyed it but thought it was a bit strange being about Frankel and Henry Cecil. I felt like you really needed 2 documentaries, one about Henry and one about Frankel, it felt like we were only getting bits of info on either. I am aware it seems like Frankel was keeping him going and keeping him alive and it was really sad to see the pictures of him at York. I was there on the day of the Juddmonte and he looked shockingly frail and there was a realisation that day that he wouldn't have long to live. I'd have loved a more in depth documentary just on Henry Cecil. I can't remember the old days when he first started training and the demise before Frankel. His son spoke really well about him and he seemed like a good guy (Jake) and explained just how much Henry loved racing and being around horses. I'd also like to see a Frankel documentary showing all the racing highlights etc. It was an ok documentary but I couldn't help feeling something was missing.

Yeh fully agree whay you were saying about his Son, he did seem a good guy. The bit that stuck in my mind was them saying Sir Henry never missed a single training day with Frankel, that just confirms his utter passion & love for that horse. The touching bit also is when the camera is on Sir Henry and he kind of bobs to the side when Frankel starts to take up the running, that little shuffle would have been PURE adrenaline. You could just see in that little moment he wasn't aware of anything or anyone, he only had eyes Frankel, Frankel had his full attention.
