It's that time again when we start to wonder about the new Flat turf season 2023 and Frankel offspring.
If you head over to Juddmonte's website and Frankel sire you will be able to get your first glimpse of the Frankel two-year-olds (2yos) for the season coming. Already a number of colts and fillies have been named. You can see the breeding, offspring date of birth, and where the individuals are being trained, this can be viewed in southern or northern hemisphere. If you want to see the latest news, take a look at Frankel's two-year-olds 2023 here.

In some respects this information is something and nothing. But, importantly, it is a start to proceedings. The beginning of many wins, successes for owners, trainers and punters who have backed these exciting individuals. Frankel offspring always inspire. There will always be a story to be told. Many exceptional talents. Horses, colts and fillies who go on to achieve Group and even Classic race success.
This son of of Galileo out of Kind has turned the horse racing world upside down since concluding his career unbeaten with fourteen wins and retired in 2011. Some saying the greatest horse of all time, heralding the immense talents of Sir Henry Cecil. Much has changed since those heady days with the passing of both Cecil and Khalid bin Abdullah.
The greatest testimony of both being the success of super sire Frankel whose stallion fee is now £275,000.
The fastest sire to 50 Group winners in history and champion sire 2021.
Here's to a brilliant season.
