INGLIS has revealed five yearlings from the first southern-hemisphere crop by dual world champion Frankel will be on offer at the company’s flagship Easter sale.

Frankel, unbeaten in 14 starts including ten at the highest level, covered a limited book of 21 mares to southern hemisphere time from his Banstead Manor base in 2013.

Among the prestigious number were leading owner John Singleton’s More Stawberries and Grade 1 winner Chocolicious – both their resulting produce will go under the hammer at Easter.

Cressfield Stud will offer a pair of precious commodities, a filly out of New Zealand Group 2 winner Jeu Des Cartes and a colt out of the well-related Buenos Aires.

The number is completed by a filly out of Mocca, the dam of Qatar Racing’s Albany Stakes winner Kiyoshi, offered by Widden Stud.

The first yearlings by Frankel offered in Europe sold for a high of €1.7 million last autumn when the China Horse Club secured a fill out Alexander Goldrun.

Also at the New Zealand sale this January a Frankel colt was purchased by a powerful group of international buyers for $NZ1.3 million.
