Champion Sire FRANKEL has sired 100 Group/Graded winners in a record time of 3144 days, ahead of Danehill (also bred by Juddmonte), Deep Impact, Galileo and Dubawi.

On this feat, Juddmonte’s General Manager UK, Simon Mockridge says “Frankel and his record-making achievements seem to know no bounds. Frankel excels physically and mentally in all that he does - from racehorse to stallion, and simply in his day-to-day routine. What a privilege it is to witness this extraordinary horse in our lifetime.”

“It goes without saying this significant milestone and Frankel’s status as one of the sport’s elite sires could not have been reached without the support of our breeders worldwide to whom we are extremely grateful.”

“Frankel’s importance to the sport of horseracing cannot be underestimated both as a household name that extends far beyond our industry, and to the thoroughbred breed. Frankel and his progeny are the jewels in the crown that is Prince Khalid’s legacy of dedication and passion for the thoroughbred which has been rewarded beyond comprehension; the same commitment is felt by his family for Juddmonte and its horses.”

Frankel was crowned Champion Sire in 2021 and 2023 and has been leading sire by prize money in Europe for the last three years.

In 2023, he sired more Group One winners (11), Group winners (27) and Stakes winners (42) than any other stallion in the world.

His 34 Group 1 winners to date include European Classic winners: CHALDEAN, SOUL SISTER, WESTOVER, HOMELESS SONGS, ADAYAR, ANAPURNA, NASHWA, HURRICANE LANE and LOGICIAN as well as Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner ALPINISTA, European Champion CRACKSMAN, Australian Oaks winner HUNGRY HEART, Japanese Oaks winner SOUL STIRRING and Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf winner INSPIRAL.

Frankel is currently achieving an incredible 12% Group winners to runners and 17% blacktype winners to runners.
