Frankel comes out on top at the conclusion of Royal Ascot
Beats out his father Galileo as the only sire to notch three winners
Frankel was the most successful stallion at Royal Ascot this week and was the only sire to be represented by three winners, edging out his great father Galileo to top the standings at the conclusion of five pulsating days.
It was Without Parole who got the ball rolling for Juddmonte's former world champion, winning the St James's Palace stakes on the opening afternoon, a race Frankel famously won himself.
Monarchs Glen won the same day's Wolferton Stakes before Baghdad sealed the deal with victory in Thursday's King George V Stakes.
Saturday's results and analysis
Had Galileo notched a third winner of the week, to add to Kew Gardens and Magic Wand, Frankel would have had him covered on the count back courtesy of his two runner-ups and five third placed runners, the last of which came as Count Octave took the minor honours in the concluding Queen Alexandra Stakes.
Saturday's fifth and final day saw Whitsbury Manor Stud's Showcasing, Coolmore Stud shuttler Fastnet Rock, Kheleyf of Haras des Faunes and Haras du Quesnay's Motivator add their names to the standings with a winner each.
There was a second winner of the week for Coolmore's sophomore sire Camelot, courtesy of Arthur Kitt and also for Gilltown's Sea The Stars, whose son Crystal Ocean was superb in the Hardwicke Stakes.
