Quick question(s) Princess - in terms of the mares Frankel is generally sent, would you say they are generally from more stamina-laden families? What I mean is, are breeders trying to add some stamina to what they think is a speedy sire to produce horses that can be 8-10F or even 10-12F horses? Or is he seeing a right old mixture? Has he sired any highly rated sprinters or would this be highly unlikely, given he is by Galileo? The trigger for these questions is that Kingman has a couple of his fillies running in the Cheshire Oaks today. That surprised me and I wondered if they are trying the same trick with him (i.e. sending him mares with more stamina-laden pedigrees)?
Or am I barking up the wrong tree completely?
