Boutique Hunter Valley nursery Cressfield have already enjoyed success breeding with champion sire Frankel having produced last Saturday’s new stakes-winner Frankely Awesome and the stunning filly by her sire they are offering at Inglis Easter Round 2 has the pedigree to suggest she too will be a stakes-winner of the future.
Lot 35 was conceived in the Northern Hemisphere and foaled in Australia and is by Frankel out of the Pivotal mare Rosental (GB), her pedigree easily one of the most desirable in the catalogue.
While there is never a ‘sure thing’ in the thoroughbred game there are certainly some crosses that consistently yield higher stakes percentages.
This filly holds a pedigree scattered with very successful crosses.
Frankel’s sire Galileo over Pivotal mares has produced 79.3% winners to runners, of which 44.8% were stakes horses, including 20.6% G1 winners.
This cross is highlighted most recently by the multiple Group I winner Magical, who last weekend took out the Group I Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh and Group I Newmarket One Thousand Guineas winner Love, who runs this weekend in the Group I Epsom Oaks.
The Frankel/ Pivotal cross, as exhibited by this filly, could be considered as equally as impressive. Of five racing fillies bred on this cross, three have been stakes winners. Overall, the Frankel/Pivotal cross has produced 81.8% winners to runners, 45.4% were stakes horses, including 18.1% G1 winners
.
The dam of Lot 35, Rosental (GB) also represents another successful cross, Pivotal over Kingmambo mares. This cross, among its many Group performers, includes Addeybb who dominated during the Sydney Autumn Carnival.
Sourced by Badgers Bloodstock, Rosental won two Listed races and was Group III placed.
She finished her racing career wearing the Cressfield colours, showing her toughness when travelling from Newmarket (UK) to Toulouse (Fr), winning by three lengths and then returning to Newmarket, all while approximately 60 days in foal to Frankel!
She later shipped to Australia to foal this lovely Frankel filly presented for sale.
Rosental has a pedigree familiar to all Australian breeders as her second dam is the well known Australian bred Group III winner Mannington, a daughter of Golden Slipper winner Bint Marscay.
The family featured at Rosehill last Saturday when Mannington’s four year-old Lonhro gelding Roheryn resumed from a spell to score an easy win in Benchmark 94 company for Godolphin.
He has already won five of 12 starts and appears set for a good campaign that should see him measure up to Black Type races.
Rosental is being given every chance to succeed at Cressfield and is in foal to Lonhro with his champion son Pierro chosen as her partner for 2020.
