Banstead Manor Stud Quintet

Frankel's nomination fee annouced for the season

Khalid Abdullah’s hugely influential Juddmonte has announced 2020 nomination fees for its five European stallions standing at Banstead Manor Stud.

The quintet includes Frankel whose statistics are mind-boggling, with Stud Director UK Simon Mockridge noting, “Frankel offers breeders the greatest chance of producing a Group winner of any other sire in the Northern Hemisphere, with a phenomenal 14% Group winners to runners and 28% black type performers to runners.

“He is second only to his own sire Galileo in terms of Group winners from crops foaled between 2014 and 2017, and is Galileo’s most successful son despite only having four crops of racing age.” Mockridge said.

“He sired five Group 1 winners in 2019 (10 overall) including two British Classic winners in Anapurna and track-record breaking Logician… At the sales, his yearlings averaged £436,160 for 37 sold, including his highest ever priced yearling with a colt sold for 3.1 million guineas to Godolphin.”

Mockridge added, “Kingman has had an outstanding start, with a Classic winner from his first crop as well as Group 2 winners Calyx and Headman, Musidora Stakes Gr3 winner Nausha and Hampton Court Stakes Gr3 winner Sangarius.

“In 2019, the only sire in Europe to have had more 3YO stakes winners than Kingman was Galileo. [He] has had four stakes winners from his second crop, including Prestige Stakes Gr3 winner Boomer, and his third crop proved incredibly popular at the yearling sales.

Kingman averaged £317,933 for 59 sold, including colts sold for 2.3 million guineas and 1.8 million guineas at Tattersalls Book 1. The five Banstead Manor stallions and their respective fees are:

  • Bated Breath – £12,500 SLF
  • Expert Eye – £17,500 SLF
  • Frankel – £175,000 SLF
  • Kingman – £150,000 SLF
  • Oasis Dream – £25,000 SLF

The Enchanting Currency Of Fate

It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
