Absolutely! In the majority of cases Frankel does seem to be throwing his stock to the dam. It’s one of the reasons people went lukewarm on him at the first foal and yearling sales as they came in lots of different shapes and sizes. What he does seem to have bestowed to many of his offspring is his stride length and engine.
Disappointing run from EMINENT, it was said that he would hate this track and it showed. FRANKUSS refused to go in the stalls.
Mirage Dancer ran green but eventually settled and almost reeled in the odds on fav, in the 1m4f Listed Buckhound Stakes at Ascot there. One for my ATR Tracker, by Frankel out of Heat Haze (US mare trained by Robert Frankel)
Depends what they find, Denman and Sprinter Sacre were both diagnosed with the condition and continued to race.
To be fair though they were not as valuable as the likes of Eminent and they took a long time to get back to anywhere near their best (they both never achieved that). Eminent could probably retire to stud and get £5k-£10k a cover already, I doubt they would try to nurse him back to health for a year or two in the hope he gets a G1 victory which, ultimately would not add loads to his stud fees. Fingers crossed he does come back though as I think there is a really good horse in there.
