Four years ago, the first Frankel foal ever to be sold at public auction made £1.15 million with his dam at the inaugural Goffs London Sale in association with QIPCO.

Today, Goffs has announced another Frankel foal will be on offer to purchasers at this year’s renewal, this time a filly, out of Millevini, a half-sister to classic winner, Kingston Hill.

Heatherwold Stud, Burghclere will offer the nine-year-old mare, who is currently in foal to the 2014 champion miler Kingman on the eve of Royal Ascot at the Orangery, Kensington Palace on Monday, June 19th.

Kingston Hill’s impressive career included victories in the Group 1 St Leger as a three-year-old and Group 1 win as a two-year-old. The Roger Varian-trained son of Mastercraftsman now stands at Coolmore Stud.

Goffs' chief executive Henry Beeby said: “Frankel fever is a global phenomenon at the moment and we are delighted to bring it back to London this year following the massive interest at our first London Sale. One of our goals in 2017 is to add a small selection of elite breeding stock to our superb catalogue of top class horses in training and this mare and filly foal absolutely fulfil that criteria. We are working on others to complement them alongside an exciting array of form horses, many of which will have Royal Ascot entries.”

Jeremy Brummitt on behalf of Heatherwold Stud added: “One gets used to hearing the normal platitudes from vendors, but I think this filly speaks for herself. I can’t imagine anyone who sees her will be disappointed. It’s exciting to support the brave initiative of the London Sale. I think the sale is very important for the profile of British and Irish breeding and one which we should all support.”

David Redvers, on behalf of QIPCO, added: “We are delighted by the way the Goffs London Sale has developed over the last three years and QIPCO takes pride in assisting with that development through our sponsorship. It has been our vision that this sale should showcase the bloodstock industry to a wider audience and by taking horses to the very heart of London, as a curtain raiser for the greatest racing festival in Royal Ascot, it provides a further glamorous shop window for our industry.

"Based on the results so far and its on-going ability to attract entries of both exciting breeding stock and horses engaged in races at Royal Ascot, it is clearly a formula that is working extremely well.”
