Juddmonte has released details of some of the foals already on the ground at Banstead Manor Stud this year, including a colt by Kingman out of the multiple Grade I winner Proviso (GB) (Dansili {GB}).
The March-foaled colt is one of a number by his exciting young sire to have been welcomed by Juddmonte so far in 2020, along with a filly out of another Grade I winner, Ventura (Chester House {GB})), who is already the dam of G3 Prix de Lieurey winner Fount (GB) (Frankel {GB}). Listed winner Mirror Lake (GB) (Dubai Destination) produced a Kingman half-brother to recent G2 Ajax S. winner Imaging (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) on Mar. 6, and Kingman's dual Group 2-winnning son Headman (GB) also has a full-brother this year.
Like Mirror Lake, the G3 Fairy Bridge S. winner Tested (GB) (Selkirk) is a grand-daughter of Roupala (Vaguely Noble {Ire}), and she was one of the Juddmonte mares to visit GI Breeders' Cup Mile winner Expert Eye (GB) during his first season at stud. The result of that mating is a bay colt born on Feb. 6 and described by stud director Simon Mockridge as “the mare's best foal to date.” Lilyfire (First Defence), a half-sister to the dam of Bated Breath (GB) and Cityscape (GB), is another with an Expert Eye colt at foot, having foaled on Feb. 25.
Frankel (GB) continues to attract strong books of mares and among those from Juddmonte's own ranks to have visited him last year is the G2 Lowther S. winner Lucky Kristale (GB) (Lucky Story), who produced a colt on Jan. 29 having had two Frankel fillies in the preceding years. Her 2-year-old, now named Trinket (GB), is in training in France with Francis-Henri Graffard.
On Feb. 3, Argentinean Grade 1 winner Samba Inc (Arg) (Include), another recent purchase, produced her first foal, a bay Frankel filly.
Among the offspring of outside stallions is a Cracksman (GB) colt out of Photographic (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), and a colt by Dubawi (Ire) out of Photographic's daughter, the G2 Musidora S. winner Shutter Speed (GB) (Dansili {GB}). Listed winner Mori (GB), a daughter of Frankel and the champion racemare Midday (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), also visited Dubawi last year in her first season and on Feb. 4 gave birth to a filly.
Dansili's Group 1-winning daughter Passage Of Time (GB) foaled a Lope De Vega (Ire) half-sister to the National Stud stallion Time Test (GB) on Jan. 23, and Lope De Vega was also the stallion chosen last season for Suffused (GB) (Champs Elyseees {GB}), the treble Grade III winner and half-sister to last year's G1 St Leger winner Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}), who has produced a colt.
