Filly hands Kodiac with his 57th stakes winner
The Ger Lyons-trained Frenetic (2 f ex Moojha by Forest Wildcat) made light work of her rivals in the First Flier Stakes (Listed, 5f) at the Curragh on Saturday and in the process handed Kodiac (Danehill) with his 57th stakes winner.
Last seen making a winning debut at Navan on June 10, the two-year-old filly was on the her own on the standside rail with the rest of the field choosing to travel up the centre of track and she was able to impressively pull away with a comprehensive five length victory over Mooneista (Dandy Man) with another half a length back to Eastern Voice (Vocalised) in third.
Purchased for 170,000gns by Sackville Donald at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale from the Hillwood Stud draft, Frenetic is out of the winning Forest Wildcat (Storm Cat) mare Moojha, making her a half-sister to American Listed winner Big Handsome (Street Boss).
Moojha herself is out of Grade 3 winner Kiss The Devil (Kris S), who is also the dam of Grade 3 scorer Kiss Moon (Malibu Moon) and Listed scorer Kiss Mine (Mineshaft), while she is also the grandam of dual Group 3 winner Besharah (Kodiac).
Further back this is the same family as Grade 3 winner Nonios (Pleasantly Perfect) and Listed scorer City Cool (City Zip).
Tally-Ho Stud-based sire Kodiac’s progeny is headed by four Group 1 winners, including 2018 Caulfield Cup (Gr 1, 2400m) winner Best Solution and the Cambridge Stud co-owned Hello Youmzain, who added a second Group 1 to his CV when he landed the Diamond Jubilee Stakes (Gr 1, 6f) at Royal Ascot last week.
