SENSATIONAL racehorses, sensational sires. The plaudits can apply in equal measure to Frankel and Kingman. The unbeaten Frankel, a Galileo own-brother to triple Group 1 winner Noble Mission, gained 10 of his 14 victories in Group 1 races, and graced the racecourse for three wonderful seasons.

Going to stud with an unblemished race record, the pressure to do well was immense, but Frankel has delivered too in his second career. His oldest crop are just six and already he is responsible for 10 Group 1 winners, including multiple top-level winners Cracksman, Anapurna, Mozu Ascot and Soul Stirring. They are just a few of his 55 group or listed winners so far, a growing number.
