"Frankel Fever" set to hit public auctions alight with first foal!

The moment many bloodstock agents & owners have been waiting for, the unique opportunity to purchase the first foal by world champion Frankel has arrived. The auction will take place at the Goffs London Sale after they announced that the unraced Crystal Gaze and her three month old colt by Frankel will be offered as the last lot, lot 65 on 16th June. The special part of it is that Crystal Gaze is back in foal to him with a LSD of April 16th. 

Before Goffs announced this, Japan Racing Association had been given the privilege of selling Frankel's first foal when they auction off a filly foal 1/2 sister to Hong Kong champion Gold Fun next month. Crystal Gaze's colt is backed up by a nice black type pedigree. He is a 1/2 brother to Spirit Quartz, a multiple Group winning sprinter and beaten only a nose in the Group 1 Nunthorphe stakes. Another 1/2 brother is Caspian Prince who won the Investic dash on derby day last weekend. Crystal Gaze herself is a full sister to Desert Quest a Graded winner over hurdles. Her 1/2 siblings include SWnr Jonquil & Graded winner over hurdles Stocktons Wing. This is from the immediate family of Group winner & sire Passing Glance & Group winner Hidden Meadow.
