Unique and Genuinely Special

Tara Madgwick - Sunday April 7
The Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale is renowned as being a sale where you can find something unique and genuinely special and the lone Frankel filly in the catalogue certainly fits that description.

Frankel filly from Thai NoonConsigned by Esker Lodge Australia on behalf of her breeders Darren and Liz Dance,Lot 306 is a filly that would make appeal at any sale in the world and would look just as much at home if she were offered at Tattersalls, Arqana or Goffs.

Born in the UK to Southern Hemisphere time, she is the first foal of Thai Noon (IRE), who is now back in Australia and produced a colt by Frankel last spring.

A lightly raced winner from just four starts, Thai Noon is by leading sire Dansili and is closely related to Dansili's Group I winning daughter Miss France, winner of the Newmarket One Thousand Guineas in 2014.

Thai Noon has a pedigree steeped in Black Type as her first three dams are all stakes-winners – Alsace Lorraine (Giant's Causeway), Mer de Corail (Sadler's Wells) and Miss Tahiti, the Champion 2YO Filly of France in 1995.

Australian racegoers have seen a small sample of Frankel runners and it's hard not to be impressed by the likes of Group II ATC Tea Rose Stakes winner Miss Fabulass, ATC Australian Oaks contender Frankely Awesome and He's Eminent, who was a close second to Avilius in the recent Group I ATC Ranvet Stakes.

Frankel has 16% stakes-winner to runners !Add in stakes horses like Merovee, Farooq and Finche, who was fourth in the Melbourne Cup and you can see why Australian breeders continue to send mares to Frankel each year.

With his oldest progeny just five year-olds, Frankel has built an impressive record with 68.1% winners to runners and a dazzling 16.2% stakes-winners to runners. His 37 stakes-winners worldwide include six Group I winners that have saluted in the UK, France, Dubai and Japan ensuring the Frankel reputation has been spread far and wide.

This filly from Thai Noon has a double cross of champion sir Danehill as does his Australian Group II winner Miss Fabulass.

The Danehill double cross is achieving growing success in Australia and features in current season Group I winning fillies Sunlight, Alizee, Amphitrite and Verry Elleegant.

Unique and genuinely special - Lot 306 is stabled in Barn D Stable 73.
