Frankel. Colt born on Saturday
The first foal by undefeated dual world champion Frankel was born at Coolmore on Saturday night.
The new arrival, a colt, is the first foal out of dual Group winner Chrysanthemum, who was the first mare confirmed in foal to Frankel last year.
Born at 8.30pm on Saturday, the foal is reported by Coolmore as “a handsome colt with a good head, a white blaze and great presence”.
Chrysanthemum, a daughter of champion sire Danehill Dancer, won the Group 3 C.L. Weld Park Stakes and Park Express Stakes at the Curragh, also finishing third in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes at the same course.
She is one of three winner for her dam Well Spoken, a daughter of Princess Margaret Stakes heroine Saintly Speech.
Juddmonte Farms general manager Philip Mitchell said: “From the reports that I have received, Frankel’s first foal is everything we could have hoped for.
“These are very exciting times for everyone who has supported the horse and we much look forward to the rest of his first crop of foals.”
Frankel retired to stud last year as the winner of 14 races – ten at the highest level.
