christian71 3,187 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just heard on Sky Sports News the great horse as covered 133 mares between February and June last year with his first colt son born on Saturday the same day as the late ,great Sir Henry Cecils birthday ,I wonder if this may have a bearing on his name ? ,with fees of £125,000 a standing and nearly 15 million in total I think his retirement will be a happy and prosperous onePS I wonder how many of these foals will make the grade ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Isn't Frankle double bred on Danehill Dancer ? And the mother of the new foal is a daughter of Danehill Dancer. Just goes to show you how important line breeding is in the thoroughbred industry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
