    Thanks PN. A fellow who's a friend of my father was wanting to form a syndicate and buy some mares and he thought I would be a good person to ask (Hah! I have no connection to the breeding world).

    12 of Frankel's first 15 mares covered have scanned in foal. I'm guessing MIDDAY is not one of them as I've not seen her name mentioned anywhere.

    Yes that's slightly higher than average (are we surprised?!), there will be a slippage rate - mares that will lose their pregnancy further down the line or foals that die at birth, but from 135 mares covered, anything over 100 foals will be good going. The average stallion has a foal rate of about 70%.

    Nass, off the top of my head you are looking at:

    New Approach
    Sixties Icon
    Duke of Marmalade
    Henrythenavigator
    Sakhee's Secret
    Raven's Pass
    Mount Nelson

    Maybe like her Mum who was distinctly average,if memory serves,until suddenly blooming after 3/4 runs...maybe not though!

    Covering shed pedigree anyhow to fall back on.

    I knew I'd missed one! Thanks Stick.

    These are the main European sires with first crop two year olds this year:

    Aqlaam
    Archipenko
    Captain Gerrard
    Champs Elysees (full-brother to Dansili)
    Creachadoir (at stud in France so limited UK runners)
    Fastnet Rock (first Northern hemisphere crop)
    Le Havre (at stud in France so limited UK runners)
    Major Cadeaux
    Mastercraftsman
    Myboycharlie
    Naaqoos (at stud in France so limited UK runners)
    Sea the Stars
    Soldier of Fortune (at stud in France so limited UK runners)
    Virtual
    Winker Watson

    I suspeect Sea the Stars will be made favourite, but I'd expect his progeny to be better at 3+, like most of the famil.

    Aqlaam could be interesting but it must be to Sea the Star's advantage that he ran 3 times as a 2yo and won. Not many 'staying' sires have that in their CV.

    You would think mastercraftsman will be top new sire with his runners looking to be speed driven
