Magnier swoops for Frankel colt

A son of the great Frankel, together with his dam Crystal Gaze, was sold for £1,150,000 (€1.4m) to MV Magnier in the inaugural Goffs London Sale at The Orangery, Kensington Palace last evening.

The colt is the first offspring of the late Henry Cecil’s champion to come under the hammer and Crystal Gaze is expecting a second foal by Frankel next year.

Crystal Gaze has already produced the classy sprinter Spirit Quartz, as well as Epsom Dash winner Caspian Prince.
