Gai Waterhouse | Gai Waterhouse Horses Available 12788 Wootton Bassettfrankieta 24

By Wootton Bassett, this filly carries the kind of international quality that still maps perfectly to the Australian program. She is out of the young Frankel mare Frankieta, a well bred mare from a deep Juddmonte family that consistently produces top level horses. Frankieta is a half sister to Stylistique, a stakes winner who also placed in Group 2 company, and the page runs through elite performers including Dank, Sulk and Eagle Mountain, with an Australian tie in Delphi.

Wootton Bassett over Galileo line mares is one of the best crosses in the world, operating at a 12% stakes winners to runners, and Frankel sits right in that Galileo line. It is the same cross that has produced top class horses like Al Riffa and Puerto Rico.

Physically, she is exactly what we aim for when buying a filly for Tulloch Lodge. She is sharp, athletic and powerful, with a forward look that suggests she will come to hand quickly. She looks the type to be effective early, while still having the quality to keep improving as she matures. A filly with genuine upside on the track and real long term value.
