Frankel in a world of his own.

Dominic Gardiner-Hill believes Frankel is capable of taking his rating to even greater levels after the BHA's handicapper allotted the colt a mark of 138 for his victory in Saturday's JLT Lockinge Stakes.
The decision to raise him 2lb from last season's 136 makes Frankel officially the highest-rated horse in the world for 25 years. Prince Khalid Abdullah's unbeaten and 10-time winner can only be trumped by the same owner's Dancing Brave (141 in 1986), although the World Thoroughbred Rankings scale has been lowered slightly since that time. Frankel leaves behind Peintre Celebre and Generous on 137 and Sea The Stars on 136.
