ASCOT, United Kingdom - Frankel produced perhaps his finest performance on Saturday to retain his unbeaten record with his 14th victory in the Group One Champion Stakes.

The Henry Cecil-trained colt — winning his 10th Group One race and likely to be his last — had stumbled out of the barrier but recovered his poise to power home to beat last year’s winner Cirrus des Aigles by 1 3/4 lengths.

Frankel, who along with Cecil was applauded into the saddling enclosure, had been a doubt earlier on Saturday because of the heavy going on part of the course but was passed to run after his connections walked the course.
