Frankel Fee Raised to £350,000

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday November 7

Juddmonte Farms have announced their fees for 2024 with Frankel given a raise to £350,000 to put him on a level pegging with Darley based Dubawi as the most expensive sire in the world.

Frankel

A 15 year-old son of Galileo, Frankel has had another spectacular year with his offspring including 39 stakes-winners worldwide, 11 of them Group I winners.

In the sales ring this year, Frankel was responsible for the two highest-priced yearlings at Tattersalls Book 1, a colt for 2,000,000gns and filly for 1,600,000gns, and also the Goffs Orby Sale top lot, a €1.85 million filly.

In Australia, he had a small number of weanlings offered with a pair of colts from Upside and Walk This Way topping the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale when selling for $925,000 and $725,000, while a filly from Vedema topped the Inglis Great Southern Weanling Sale at $825,000.

Simon Mockridge, general manager of Juddmonte UK, said: "This year has been another outstanding season for the Juddmonte stallions. A season which sees Frankel poised to win his second champion sire title in the last three years, and a year where the Juddmonte roster was the leading stallion farm at Royal Ascot.

“Kingman closes 2023 as the sire of more three-year-old stakes winners than Frankel, Into Mischief, Galileo and Dubawi. Significantly, Frankel and Kingman, who currently sit first and third in the European sires' list, are responsible for 64 individual stakes winners between them in 2023 alone. Of which, 39 are Group winners, with 14 of them winning at the highest level, further consolidating their positions as two of the world’s elite stallions."

He added: "The roster has been further strengthened by the exciting addition of Frankel’s most precocious son, Chaldean. His physique, conformation and Classic credentials should give him every opportunity to succeed.

"We look forward to welcoming breeders to the farm to view the stallions by appointment."

Kingman

Kingman remains at a fee of £125,000 and has sired 27 stakes-winners this year including Australian Group I winning juvenile King Colorado and will have a leading fancy in the Group I VRC Oaks on Thursday in Zardozi.
