Pedigree Watch – USA- Frankel Nick That Clicks

Tara Madgwick - Sunday July 10

Juddmonte Farms super sire Frankel is edging close to his century of stakes-winners and racked up number 98 in the US on the weekend when he delivered the quinella in the Group I Belmont Oaks Invitational (2000m) on turf.

The Chad Brown filly McKulick ran out a length and three-quarter winner over Godolphin homebred Frankel filly With the Moonlight.

Group placed three times from four starts previously, McKulick was overdue for a stakes win and has now won two of five starts.

 

McKulick was bought from Tattersalls October Book 1.

Purchased for 180,000 guineas from the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale by Mike Ryan for Klaravich Stables, McKulick is a half-sister to Group winners Fearless King and Just Beautiful, so is the third stakes-winner from three foals to race from Group III placed Makfi mare Astrelle.

Runner-up With the Moonlight is a full sister to Group I winner Dream Castle and is bred along similar lines to the winner being from a daughter of Dubawi, who is the sire of Makfi, damsire of McKulick.

Frankel is establishing a real affinity with Dubawi line mares and the two sires combine in the pedigrees of seven stakes-winners to date, four of them Group I winners, McKulick joining Adayar, Homeless Songs and Dream Castle.

Australian Frankel stakes-winner My Whisper also fits the profile being from a daughter of Dubawi son Poet’s Voice.
