Frankel has extended his unbeaten record to 12 with an impressive victory in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood.
A crowd of 25,000 saw Frankel take control early on and then extend his lead in the stretch in Wednesday's one-mile race.
Frankel, owned by Prince Khalid Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, was the 1-20 favorite in a field of four. Frankel's second Sussex Stakes win was worth $468,000.
Jockey Tom Queally says ''every moment spent on his back is a special moment, and today was no different.''
