Deauville Group Double for Frankel

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday August 16
Fresh from siring his first Australian winner on Tuesday with an impressive victory for Merovee at Newcastle, Frankel kicked in with a Group double at Deauville in France overnight with a Group III win for Lady Frankel and a Group II victory for the Sir Peter Vela owned colt Eminent.

The Group II Prix Guillaume d'Ornano Haras du Logis Saint-Germain over 1m2f was won in commanding fashion by the Martyn Meade trained colt Eminent.

Already a stakes-winner having won the Group III Newmarket Craven Stakes earlier this year, Eminent powered clear to win by three lengths taking his overall record to three wins from six starts.

FrankelEminent was well rated in front by Ryan Moore and appreciated a drop in class having finished fifth in the Group I Coral Eclipse Stakes and fourth in the Group I Epsom Derby at his two previous starts.

A 150,000 guinea purchase from the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale for Dermot Farrington on behalf of Sir Peter Vela's Pencarrow Stud, Eminent is the second winner for Group I placed Kingmambo mare You'll Be Mine, a half-sister to Group I winner Diamondsandrubies and daughter of Group I winner and Champion 2YO Filly Quarter Moon.

Eminent is one of 12 stakes-winners from Frankel's first Northern Hemisphere crop of foals, with 11 of those stakes-winners coning in Group races headed by the dual Japanese Group I winner Soul Stirring.

Judging by the performance of Merovee at Newcastle on Tuesday, Frankel may not be far off siring his first stakes-winner Australia, click here to read about him.
