Only the best for Frankel

Frankel will be offered the very best mares at his owner Khalid Abdullah’s Banstead Manor Stud in Newmarket once he begins his new career as a stallion.

The four-year-old colt ended his flawless racing days with a 14th victory in the Qipco Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday and will wind down at Henry Cecil’s stables until he is ready to make the short journey to his new home.

“Prince Khalid hasn’t really sat down and done the matings yet with Philip Mitchell (Juddmonte Farms general manager),” said the owner’s racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe.
