Frankel won the race in 2011, but the John Gosden trained Without Parole ran
slightly quicker time than his sire in carving out the one mile contest in
1.38. 64 seconds.Sent out favourite on the strength of three impressive wins in easier grade at his only previous outings, Without Parole won by half a length for Frankie Dettori over the Coolmore owned Galileo colt Gustav Klimt.
"I had to move because Ryan Moore in front is very dangerous and when I got to him, I looked and thought there was over a furlong to go and I'm a sitting duck here," Dettori told the Sporting Life.
"He's a proper little horse. He's a lovely horse - he's only run four times, but to do what he's done, he's got a big future."
Trainer John Gosden said Without Parole had to be brave to win.
"It was a brave performance. He had to commit early and he will have learned a lot," Gosden said.
"He had one run at Newcastle at the back-end (of last year) and he's done nothing but improve, but there's still a lot more to come.
"I still can't see a rib on him - he's a bit tubby."
Without Parole is bred and raced by John and Tanya Gunther, who bred and sold Triple Crown winner Justify.
They offered Without Parole at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, but when bidding stopped at 650,000 guineas decided to keep the colt to race and the rest is history.
"To breed and own a winner at Royal Ascot surpasses everything." John Gunther said.
Without Parole is the fourth Group I winner for Frankel, who enjoyed a Royal Ascot stakes double with his four year-old son Monarchs Glen winning the Listed Wolferton stakes to close the program.
Without Parole is a half-brother to Group I winner Tamarkuz and has a US pedigree on his dam's side being from unraced Lemon Drop Kid mare Without You Babe, a half-sister to Group I winner Stay Thirsty.
