RIP the Legend

Dual Group-winning mare Chrysanthemum produced an attractive bay colt at 20.30 on Saturday 11th January 2014 at Coolmore Stud in Ireland. The stud reported that the foal is a handsome colt with a good head, a white blaze and great presence.

Juddmonte Farms General Manager Philip Mitchell commented: “From the reports that I have received Frankel’s first foal is everything we could have hoped for. These are very exciting times for everyone who has supported the horse and we much look forward to the rest of his first crop of foals.”

Chrysanthemum was the first mare scanned in foal to Frankel last year, and this is her first foal.

Clever Sham.... you should email Coolmore stud

Paul Peter has a lovely colt by kahal called Sir Cecil, apparently this colt was born on the same day Frankel had won a group race in england and the breeder was on course in the UK, she politely asked Sir Henry Cecil if she could name the colt after him and he gave her his blessing. Here's hoping this horse does well for my mate Paul Peter

HISTORY appears set to take place at Newbury on Friday where John Gosden's Cunco is entered to make his debut, in turn looking likely to become the first offspring of Frankel to visit the track.

Much of the feedback about the Frankels, both at the sales and in training, is that generally he has not yet stamped his stock and they come in all shapes and sizes.

Although Frankel himself made his debut in August of his second year, many of his sons and daughters could take longer to appear, and those more forward will be seen over seven furlongs-plus, though Cunco's intended debut on Friday will be one of interest for many racing professionals, most notably Teddy Grimthorpe.

Grimthorpe, racing manager to Frankel's owner-breeder Khalid Abdullah, said: "It's time for the talking to stop for Frankel. It's no good for me to keep saying what a great stallion he is and how fantastic his two-year-olds are - which they are by the way - as they have to do it on the track.

"Hopefully we'll see some nice ones this summer as there are plenty about. We have many homebreds by him but nothing to run just yet. Hopefully we'll see some nice ones later on."

Gosden has a clutch of mainly colts by Frankel, and Cunco, a son of Chrysanthemum who was the very first born, has been seen in action on the Limekilns in Newmarket.

Since the thread says RIP the Legend but that was dedicated to Sir Henry Cecil.

Lest not forget that Frankel, was named after late American legendary trainer, Bobby Frankel.
