Fee Raised for Frankel

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday November 1
Recent Group I winner Cracksman put the icing on the cake for exciting young sire Frankel, whose fee has been raised on the back of a sensational start to his stud career.

FrankelJuddmonte's Banstead Manor Stud have increased his fee to 175,000 pounds (up from 125,000 pounds), which converts to around $A303,000.

Frankel's first two crops have produced 65 winners around the world including two in Australia with 20 stakes-winners headed by Cracksman and his Japanese Group I winner Soul Stirring.

His stakes-winners to runners ration runs at an impressive 15.7%, although the exceptional quality of mares he has covered would be a contributing factor to that high figureā€¦ it does take two to tango!

Frankel's racetrack rival Nathaniel, the sire of the best horse in Europe this year in Enable, has also had a small fee increase at Newsells Park.

By Galileo as is Frankel, Nathaniel will stand for 20,000 pounds, up from 17,500 pounds.
