Frankel

Frankel is a British Thoroughbred racehorse widely regarded as one of the greatest in the history of the sport. Bred by Juddmonte Farms, he was foaled in 2008 and trained by Sir Henry Cecil at Warren Place in Newmarket. He is a bay stallion by Galileo out of the mare Kind, and he spent his racing career under the ownership of Khalid Abdullah’s Juddmonte Farms. Tom Queally rode him in most of his wins.

Frankel began his career as a two-year-old in 2010 and quickly established himself as a top-class performer. As a three-year-old in 2011, he advanced from promise to dominance, recording a series of high-profile victories that confirmed his status as one of the era’s premier milers. His unbeaten run extended to 14 wins from 14 starts, including victories in major races at Newmarket and other proud racing venues. Throughout his career, Frankel was praised for his exceptional speed, stamina, and adaptability to different courses and distances.

Upon retirement from racing in 2012, Frankel began his stud career at Banstead Manor Stud near Newmarket, part of the Juddmonte operation. He has since become a leading sire, transmitting his qualities to a growing line of progeny that have achieved success in Group races and at the highest level worldwide. Frankel’s influence on racing and breeding continues to be a touchstone in evaluations of modern Thoroughbred performance.
