WHITSBURY Manor Stud has had the family of the Group 3 Killavullan Stakes winner Exactly (Frankel) for many years, on occasions being grateful in hindsight not to have sold some of it at auction.

However, Exactly was bred by Coolmore, as her dam Heartache, a daughter of Kyllachy (Pivotal), was purchased six years ago by M.V. Magnier for 1,300,000gns. Leased to the Hot To Trot group by Whitsbury Manor, Heartache was a very smart juvenile, winning the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot, and the Group 2 Flying Childers Stakes. On the latter occasion she beat none other than Havana Grey.
