Frankel - Stud Career

The one out of SONG is begging to be called Frankel Sinatra.

 

The best is yet to come. That is one that you would be able to get away with! And you did it your way...

 

"Regrets I've Dad A Few."

 

Surely the Song filly has to be "Luck be a Lady"

 

I think they have to start with "F" but I won't suggest any alternatives.

 

I cannot believe that somebody of your integrity stooped as low as that, although I do believe that a lo-life like me got it in an instant!

 

If I owned the Dynaforce filly I'd go for ****el

 

Crikey the site won't let me say a famous engineer's name. Is it 'cause Felix was German?

 

Mary Hinge was a decent sprinter a few years ago.

The powers that be clearly don't understand Spoonerisms...

 

They do now Dexter, they learnt their lesson after that one!

 

It's been announced that Roger Varian will train the daughter of Frankel and Danedream, NOTHING BUT DREAMS. In an article in today's Racing Post Varian said:

"Of course it's a great honour and privilege that I have been asked by the Shadai Farm to train Nothing But Dreams. She is the daughter of an Arc winner from Champion Frankel. She has been broken in and is currently undergoing light canters. Of course it's early, but she has a good action and good character."

 

I'm not too keen on the name though. I'd be hoping for more than nothing but dreams.

 

The half-brother to Dubawi has been named WATCHMAN and will go to Roger Varian.

 

What price for the Oaks?

 

A few more trainers added.

 

A few more names and trainers added.

 

The half-sister to MIDDAY has been named AURORA GOLD.

 

Of course I've just discovered that Juddmonte are keeping a running list on their own website I'll cross reference what I find from other sources with their site and if there are differences of opinion I'll use their information.

 

Yes it's a useful site as they even list the arrangements for all their stallions produce (not just their mares). I was a bit surprised a few weeks back to see Bell still being sent some Royal 2yos. He seems to have lost a spell or two..

 

I see Frankel is 2-1 favourite to be the first season sire to produce most winners in the 2016 turf season. I think that's a surprising price. If it was to be the first season sire to win most prize money I'd think he'd have a chance but he's hardly likely to have early types given his own career and the mares he was sent. He will probably prove me wrong but I'd have thought Harbour Watch, Casamento and even Bated Breat (though he didn't run as a 2yo: but we don't know why) may get more winning youngsters than Frankel. A good outsider might be Power.
