Unbeaten racehorse Frankel’s first foal has been born at a stud in Ireland.
His owners Juddmonte Farms confirmed today (15 January) that the foal was born at 8.30pm on Saturday (11 January) at Coolmore Stud in Tipperary.
The foal is out of dual Group-winning mare Chrysanthemum. This is her first foal.
Coolmore reported that the foal was a handsome colt “with a good head, a white blaze and great presence”.

“These are very exciting times for everyone who has supported the horse and we much look forward to the rest of his first crop of foals.”
