Frankel wins at Royal Ascot

Frankel made it 11 wins out of 11 races during the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot this afternoon.

Ridden by jockey Tom Queally, the clear favourite took the lead from rival Excelebration at the halfway point.

While Excelebration battled hard under the guidance of JP O'Brien, he was unable to prevent the Sir Henry Cecil-trained horse from winning the race by 11 lengths.

Excelebration held on to claim second spot, while Side Glance, a 33-1 shot, took third place.

Reflecting on his horse's performance, Cecil told BBC Radio Five Live: "He did well didn't he? He's a great horse, you can see for yourself. You watched him, you can judge him yourselves."

Many pundits have described today's victory as Frankel's best ever performance.
