As of 2024, Frankel has sired 35 individual Group 1 winners, with recent stars including Chaldean, the 2023 2000 Guineas victor, and Oaks winner Soul Sister. His offspring also performed exceptionally at the Breeders' Cup, with Inspiral taking the Filly & Mare Turf. These achievements underscore Frankel's impact on breeding, having consistently produced top-tier racehorses, including numerous classic and Group 1 winners.
The sales results of Frankel’s progeny further highlight his value. In 2024, the highest-priced Northern Hemisphere yearling, a filly out of Aljazzi, fetched 4.4 million guineas. Two other Frankel yearlings were the top lots at the Goffs Orby Sale, with prices reaching €2 million and €1 million, respectively. His 2024 yearling average stands at a remarkable £760,240 across 30 sales, cementing his appeal among breeders and investors alike.
Frankel’s international influence is equally impressive. His progeny have excelled globally, including in high-profile events in the Middle East, Europe, and Australia. In the UAE, Measured Time, a Frankel-sired colt, recently won the Group 1 Jebel Hatta, exemplifying Frankel's enduring legacy in producing world-class talent.
Juddmonte Farms, Frankel’s owners, continue to manage his career with precision, ensuring that he is paired with elite mares. His rise as a two-time Champion Sire in 2021 and 2023, along with multiple accolades in the sales ring and on the track, confirms his status as one of the most influential stallions of the modern era.
Frankel’s exceptional progeny performance, coupled with his increasing influence in global racing and breeding, affirms his standing as a transformative figure in thoroughbred history. With an unmatched ability to pass on his superior genetics, Frankel’s legacy will undoubtedly shape the sport for years to come.
