Champion
racehorse Frankel has made a dazzling start to his stud career and put the
icing on the cake over the weekend when siring his first Group I winner with
two year-old filly Soul Stirring successful in the Group I Hanshin Juvenile
Fillies in Japan.
A homebred for Shadai Farm from champion Monsun mare Stacelita, Soul Stirring won
the one mile feature on turf by a length and a quarter and has now won three
from three.
She is the sixth stakes-winner and one of 18 winners sired by Frankel from his
first Northern Hemisphere bred crop of foals.
His first Southern Hemisphere bred progeny are two year-olds and there will be
another small offering of his stock at sales here next year with four youngsters
entered for Inglis Easter, one of which, a colt from Give Me Five (Ger) is also
catalogued for the NZB Premier Yearling Sale as Lot 181.
That colt is bred on the same cross as Soul Stirring as his dam Give Me Five is
also by Monsun and is the dam of Group I Royal Ascot Gold Cup winner Colour
Vision.
