Big Five wins Prix Right Royal at Chantilly on Monday
Juddmonte Farm's Frankel (Galileo) sired his 61st stakes winner on Monday when Big Five won the Prix Right Royal (Listed, 3000m) at Chantilly.
Trained by Francis Graffard, Big Five (4 g ex Louvain by Sinndar) started the 6-5 favourite. He was settled towards the back of the field. He travelled strongly into the race on the outside and pulled right away to an impressive five and a half length victory. Alkuin (Maxios) finished in second with Richemont a head further back in third.
Big Five is out of Group 3 winner Louvain (Sinndar) who has produced six other winners including dual Group 1 winner Flotilla (Mizzen Mast) and LIsted winner Louvakhova (Maria's Mon) who has produced the stakes winning pair Crossfirehurricane (Kitten's Joy) and My Generation (Speightstown).
Louvain was sold for US$35,000 to Red Bull Bloodstock at the Keeneland January Horses Of All Ages Sale earlier this year.
Frankel who was represented by his 13th Group One winner on Saturday when Hungry Heart won the Vinery Stud Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) has five lots to sell at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale this week.
