Frankel Fever At Goffs

Six foals from the first crop of world champion Frankel will be offered at Goffs November Foal Sale on 17 - 20 November headed by the half-sister to leading 2015 Derby fancy Ol'Man River.

The daughter of Classic winners Frankel and Finsceal Beo received a massive boost to her already impeccable pedigree last weekend with her Montjeu half-brother, last year's Orby sales topper at €2.85 million, making it two wins from two starts in the Group 2 Juddmonte Beresford Stakes whilst on the same afternoon Too The Stars, her Sea The Stars half-sister and an €800,000 Goffs foal, also won making Finsceal Beo's breeding record a perfect 2 runners - 2 winners.

Joining Finsceal Beo's filly will be two colts. Million Euro Orby vendors Ballylinch Stud will offer a half-brother to Group winner and Group 1 placed US Law who is a grandson of Group 1 winner Pharaoh's Delight, the grandam of double Group 1 winner Red Rocks.

Friarstown Stud have two Frankel foals including a son of Group 1 winner and Classic placed Lahaleeb and their second entry is the daughter of Song, the own sister to Classic winner Yesterday and Champion two year old Quarter Moon, who was purchased in utero at Goffs last year.

The half dozen Frankel babies will be completed by a duo of beautifully bred fillies with stunning pedigrees. Airlie Stud bring a daughter of Group winning Discreet Brief who is a half-sister to 5 winners including the Group 2 Royal Lodge victor Steeler.

Commenting on the Frankel foals, Goffs Chief Executive Henry Beeby said:

"As we saw when selling the world's first Frankel foal at the Goffs London Sale in June, interest in the first offspring of the world's greatest is vitually unprecedented. Indeed, the only comparison is with the first crop of Sea The Stars which sold so well at Goffs in 2011.

These six Frankel foals are all potential sales toppers in their own right and we are very grateful to each vendor for entrusting them to Goffs. Their inclusion in a mouth-watering catalogue of world class foals should ensure a global buying bench descends on Goffs next month."

The Goffs November Foal catalogue will be available on-line from 9 October and published six days later on 15 October. Further information on other top class foals will follow in due course.
