A track record-breaking son of Champion Sire Frankel.
A winner at two over 1200m at Deauville, Delaware captured the Listed Prix de Tourgeville (1600m) by three lengths at three before stepping up in class and winning G3 Prix Daphnis (1600m) by four lengths, in the lead up to the Group 1 French Guineas.
Transferred to America where he continued his race career, Delaware won the Listed Danger’s Hour Stakes, recording a track record time on the turf at Aqueduct of 1.33.67.
As a speedy son of Frankel, himself the equal fastest stallion in history alongside Danehill to achieve 100 stakes winners, Delaware is out of the Oasis Dream half-sister to Champion and Group 1 winner Byword, himself a G1 producing sire, as well as the triple Group 1 winner Proviso and Group 1-winning, multiple Group 1 placed Finche.
As the most prolific stakes-winning son of what can be considered one of the most exciting sores in the world, Delaware offers breeders not only the opportunity to access the Frankel bloodline, but the added element of speed, a factor the local market craves.
We encourage potential breeders to watch the replays of Delaware, a horse who’s race pattern is very much suited to the Australian market, able to sustain his electric speed on the pace.
By champion sire and racehorse Frankel and out of Oasis Dream mare Zatsfine, no wonder Delaware was able to put his rivals to the sword over both the sprint and middle-distance trips.
Zatsfine, owned by Juddmonte Farms, is out of American mare Blinche, the dam of triple stakes-winning galloper Finche. Zatsfine is by American sire Woodman, a champion Irish two-year-old and a producer of high-class two-year-old himself.
These bloodlines give us the faith that Delaware is the perfect horse suited to Australia, with these sprinting bloodlines, and importantly, that high class two-year-old talent prominent in his pedigree.
