I have never heard of Franker....Frankel yes...agreed...one of the three greatest Flat racehorses ever seen,along with Sea Bird II and Ribot as far as I and many others are concerned.
Denman proved superior to Kauto Star three times out of the four they met and it would have been all four but for a debilitating heart problem which resulted in Denman returning to the track fro the 2008/9 season a different horse to the unbeaten chaser we witnessed the season before.
As far as the three greatest National Hunt chasers are concerned,nothing has changed there...it is still Arkle from Flyingbolt and Mill House !
