Chris Wright's dual Group 1 winner Wonderful Tonight (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) will visit champion sire Frankel (GB) for her first covering this year, trainer David Menuisier reported on Twitter on Monday. The 5-year-old mare has joined Wright's broodmare band at his Stratford Place Stud in the Cotswolds.
A winner at two, Wonderful Tonight rose through the ranks at three, winning the G3 Prix Minerve in August of 2020 before winding up the season with a Group 1 double in the Prix de Royallieu and the G1 British Champions Fillies & Mares S.
Kicking off a 4-year-old campaign last year aimed at the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Wonderful Tonight won Royal Ascot's G2 Hardwicke S. and Glorious Goodwood's G2 Lillie Langtry S. before finishing fourth in the G1 Yorkshire Oaks. Wright and Menuisier's Arc dreams were dashed when Wonderful Tonight suffered a condylar fracture in training three weeks out from the race and was retired.
