AN AMAZING £1.7million horse is so good that rival trainers gave up and admitted they couldn’t beat him.
The Charlie Appleby-trained Treanmor is by super stallion and greatest of all time Frankel.

Already punters are asking if it’s time to start comparing him to his legendary dad after his electrifying debut at Newmarket.
Treanmor fetched the almighty sum when he was bought by Godolphin at the Goffs Orby Book 1 last October.
Sheikh Mohammed, the billionaire ruler of Dubai, snapped up the top three lots at that sale, totalling a spend of £3.3m on that trio alone.
But it was Treanmor that cost the most – and he showed exactly why at HQ.
Sent off 30-100 under William Buick, he led easily over one furlong from the post in the 6f contest and was merely ridden out to win.
Former Derby-winning jockey and now Racing TV pundit Martin Dwyer revealed the sense of excitement and expectation around the colt ahead of his debut.
Speaking on the Oddschecker Racing Weekly show, he said: “Everybody was saying we’re going to see a rocket in this race.
“Even trainers that had a runner in the race were telling me, ‘No, we’re not going to beat this. He is a rocket’.
“And he won in great style – he really did look impressive.
“When the gates opened he was quick into his stride but William Buick restrained him and took him nearly to the back of the field.
“It was firm ground and everyone was racing on the front end at Newmarket, which can be a front-runner’s track.
“But William dropped him in and gave him ground to make up because he wanted to educate the horse.
“If he’d let him stride from the gates he wouldn’t have seen another horse and he wouldn’t have learned enough.
“He would have done a Frankel in the Guineas.”
Royal Ascot will be Treanmor’s next stop – but which race is yet to be fully decided.
Appleby suggested he will go to the 7f Listed Chesham on the Saturday, for which Unibet make him 2-1 favourite.
That’s a price that could look an absolute gift on the day, if this debut is anything to go by.
