Frankel and Kingman books chock-a-block full of Juddmonte blue-blooded quality

For the 2022 breeding season Juddmonte will be utilising more than 30 different stallions, with the home roster set for its usual strong support.

Newly-crowned British and Irish champion sire Frankel’s book includes the Group and Listed winners Alocasia (a half-sister to Group 2 winner Set Piece), Capla Temptress (a Grade 1 winner), Classical Times (a half-sister to Newspaperofrecord), Environs (a half-sister to Frankel’s Group 3-winning son Delaware), Grand Jete, Soffia, Starformer (the dam of Listed winner Flavius) and Winsili (Grade 1 winner).

Frankel is also covering the proven producers Bird Flown (dam of Group 1 winner Siskin), Portodora (dam of the aforementioned Alocasia and Set Piece), Ruscombe (dam of Frankel’s Listed-winning daughter Petricor, who is now in training with Bill Mott), and Scuffle (the dam of Logician).

He is also set to cover the black-type performer Peace Charter – who is a daughter of multiple Grade 1 winner Emollient and therefore a half-sister to the very promising Frankel filly Raclette.

Kingman's cracking book

Kingman had another stellar season in 2021 – Palace Pier, Schnell Meister and Domestic Spending winning six top-level races between them, for starters - and he will be represented by more than 190 beautifully bred two-year-olds this year.

His book of mares mirrors his standing as one of the world’s best sires and includes Group 1 winners Emulous, Juliet Foxtrot, Quadrilateral and SambaInc, and proven producers Flare Of Firelight (dam of Group 2 winner Threat), Mirror Lake (dam of Group 2 winner Imaging), Nimble Thimble (dam of the aforementioned Quadrilateral) and Trojan Queen (dam of Group 3 winner Sangarius).

Also heading to Kingman are young Group/Graded-winning mares Dandhu, Gaining, Isabella Giles, Lucky Kristale (a half-sister to Love), Nay Lady Nay (a sister to Arizona), Pocket Square and Sun Maiden (a half-sister to Midday).

Eye on the prize

This year will see the first runners hit the track for the top-class two-year-old and miler Expert Eye (whose dam is visiting Mehmas) and Juddmonte is continuing its strong support of the son of Acclamation.

The mares going to him include the Group 2 winning-miler Modern Look (dam of the Grade 3 winner/Grade 1-placed Grand Jete), Listed winner Pavlosk, Showcasing’s black-type sister Tendu, and her winning Frankel filly Beheld.

Dream dates

Tendu is a daughter of Oasis Dream, the sire of the European champion two-year-old Native Trail, and, among others, he will cover the Group 1 winner Announce, Group 3 winner Hot Snap (a half-sister to Oasis Dream’s outstanding daughter Midday) and the winning Frankel filly Wensleydale, whose dam is the Group-winning sprinter Divine.

Bated's book

Bated Breath will be standing for a career-high £15,000 this season and his mares include Photographic (the dam of Group 3 winner Shutter Speed) as well as the Listed winners Variable and Zaminast (a half-sister to Famous Name), the young Group-placed mare Midweek, and Star Snap, who is a Galileo daughter of the Group 3 winner Hot Snap.

Homebred backing

Other homebred stallions being supported include New Bay, who is covering the Listed winner Heliac among others; Showcasing, whose mares include Group 1 winner African Rose (dam of Fair Eva and relative of Native Trail), Continental Drift (a daughter of Intercontinental and dam of Listed winner Masen) and Deliberate (dam of Group 2 winners Headman and Projected, the latter by Showcasing); and Time Test, whose book includes Across The Floor, the dam of Irish Group 3 winner Acanella.

Time Test’s dam, the Group 1 winner Passage Of Time, is one of several mares visiting Dubawi – others include Arc de Triomphe legend Enable (along with her half-sister Entitle and dam Concentric), Frankel’s sister Chiasma, and Frankel’s black-type winning daughters Fount (Group 3 winner out of multiple Grade 1 winner Ventura, who herself visits Night Of Thunder), Mori (Listed winner out of Midday) and Obligate (Group 2 winner and a granddaughter of Hasili).

Joyeuse, a half-sister to Frankel, will visit Camelot, while her daughter Jovial will visit Wootton Bassett (along with Enable’s half-sister Portrush and Banks Hill’s Group 1-winning daughter Romantica).

Joyeuse’s other daughter Jubiloso is visiting Sea The Stars, along with Bated Breath’s Grade 1-winning daughter Viadera.

Viadera’s dam Sacred Shield is one of two Group 1 producers visiting Siyouni, the other being Juliet Foxtrot’s dam Kilo Alpha.

Siyouni’s Group 1-winning son St Mark’s Basilica will be covering the Group 1 winners Midday and Timepiece.

Group 1 winner Proviso will visit Lope De Vega, along with Group 3 winner Big Break (the dam of Listed winner Georgeville).

Matings which produced talented two-year-olds last year are being repeated – with Straight Answer’s dam Straight Thinking returning to Kodiac, and Juncture’s dam Occurrence visiting Dark Angel again.
