WHILE Galileo stole all the limelight following the Derby, his brilliant son Frankel, unbeaten in 14 career starts, was celebrating the Investec Oaks victory of his daughter Anapurna just 24 hours earlier. This was a victory of note for Mark Weinfeld’s Meon Valley Stud, and it also provided a fairy-tale story for Adam Wragg and Carlton Stud.

At the Tattersalls Ascot Sale last November, Wragg acquired an unraced three-year-old filly by Mastercraftsman for just £2,500. That is correct, I have not omitted a zero.
