THE Frankel yearling own-sister to the Arc winner Alpinista is to be offered for sale at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale which takes place from October 8th-10th.

The yearling filly will be presented from her breeder Kirsten Rausing’s Staffordstown Stud in Dunboyne, Co Meath.

Foaled on February 11th, the Frankel filly out of the listed-winning Hernando mare Alwilda is also a half-sister to the listed winner Alpenblume.

The yearling filly hails from the family of Group 1 winners and champions Albanova, Eldar Eldarov, Alouette, Alborada, Albanova, Alruccaba, Last Second, Jude and Alleleuia.

Kirsten Rausing said: “The filly, an exceptional individual whose pedigree speaks for itself, represents the pinnacle of my over 50 years of breeding.

“As I retain her dam, own sister and two half-sisters, I hope the filly will herself contribute to the fantastic, continuing success of my ‘Al’ family.”

Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony added: “We visited Staffordstown earlier in the year and it was impossible not to be impressed by Alpinista’s yearling sister. She is an exceptional individual with a truly outstanding pedigree and a wonderful tribute to her breeder Kirsten Rausing who has nurtured this family for many generations, producing champion after champion. There cannot be a thoroughbred breeder anywhere in the world who would not covet this particular yearling and we are honoured to be offering her on behalf of Kirsten Rausing at Book 1.”
