Quick question - have Ballydoyle sent any of their broodmares to Frankel? I can’t really recall them having runners by him but my memory isn’t what it was. I was wondering whether they were deliberately avoiding him?
Yes they have been sending him mares more recently with Galileo’s problems. I did a tot up for someone the other day, I’ll see if I can find it.
I can’t find the stats now, but basically Coolmore have about 15 breeding rights in Frankel but have previously mostly used those to cover mares and sell them on. This year Ballydoyle have 4 Frankel’s in training I believe, and based on the mares sent to him in 2020 (for foals of 2021/2yos of 2023) I’d say they’ll have a good number more next year. These are 3 of the 4, I can’t remember the 4th but it’s on my work computer!
Brilliant - many thanks Princess. i was going to say something along the lines of „the one that got away“ but „the lads“ have so much money I have no idea what motivates them to get out of bed in the morning. Obviously I’m too working class
