Group-winning son of Champion racehorse and sire Frankel

Delaware, a fast son of Frankel. As a 2YO he won at Deauville over 1200m. As an early 3YO he went back-to-back in the Prix Daphnis Gr. 3 and Prix de Tourgeville L. Both at Deauville over 1600m. Sitting on the pace and showing a real turn of foot to win. Transferred to Chad Brown in New York, he won the Aqueduct Danger’s Hour S. L 1600m, on the grass in a track record time of  1.33.67. He is a half-brother to French stakes-winner Environs and a three-quarter brother-in-blood to Finche (Maisons-Laffitte Prix Eugene Adam Gr. 2).

Frankel’s go-to is Pivotal mares. This cross has the unbelievable stats of from around 100 starters he has 10 stakes-winners, 5 at Gr. 1 level including:-

Cracksman (Frankel-Rhadegunda by Pivotal). 5 wins inc. Ascot Champion S. Gr. 1 (twice).

Nashwa (Frankel-Princess Loulou by Pivotal). 5 wins inc. Chantilly Prix de Diane Gr. 1.

Hungry Heart (Frankel-Harlech by Pivotal). ATC Australian Oaks Gr. 1.

You can tune into this bloodline through Nureyev line mare’s. Daughters of Starcraft, Star Witness, Star Turn give that Nureyev blood. Also daughter’s of Lonhro, Pierro, Russian Revolution, etc. have Nureyev in their female pedigree. An older Excellent Art mare would be ideal.

Frankel also works well with Mr. Prospector line mares. There have been 21 Gr. 1 winners bred that way including:-

Adayar (Frankel-Anna Salai by Dubawi). 5 wins inc. Epsom English Derby Gr. 1.

Measured Time (Frankel-Minidress by Street Cry). 7 wins inc. Saratoga Manhatten S. Gr. 1.

Homeless Songs (Frankel-Joilliere by Dubawi). 3 wins inc. Curragh 1000 Guineas Gr. 1.

Obviously a Dubawi mare would be perfect. Also daughter of Hallowed Crown, Pride Of Dubai, Street Boss, etc. would suit.

Storm Cat line mare’s also work with Frankel. Here are some Gr. 1 examples:-

Converge (Frankel-Conversely by Shamardal). 4 wins inc. ATC Randwick Guineas Gr. 1.

Mozu Ascot (Frankel-India by Hennessy). 7 wins inc. Tokyo Yasuda Kinen Gr. 1.

Ylang Ylang (Frankel-Shambolic by Shamardal). 3 wins inc. Newmarket Fillies Mile Gr. 1.

Mare’s by Storm Cat line stallions Blue Point, Puissance de Lune, Turffontein would work. Also daughters of America Pharoah, Churchill, Foxwedge, Grunt, etc. Have Storm Cat in their pedigree.
