Haras des Capucines consigned the sole Frankel foal to go through the ring, a chesnut daughter of Ascot Family who won at Listed level as a juvenile. There is plenty of speed in her genes as she hails from the family of Lethal Force, G Force and Flotilla and she clearly seems to be adding some precocity to her offspring as her first foal was the Gr.2 Prix du Robert Papin scorer and Gr.1 Prix Morny runner-up FAMILY ONE and the second to race was a Listed performer at two.
Hugo Merry signed the docket at €450,000 for the chesnut and commented:
She is for an American client of mine, Andrew Rosen, who has horses in training both in the US and in Europe, he notably has a share in [2016 Gr.2 Vintage Stakes winner] War Decree with Aidan O'Brien. We will keep her in France to make her eligible for the premiums and then work on a plan. I expected to have to pay that sort of price with such a beautiful pedigree, and she is a lovely physical as well.
