THE simply brilliant Frankel had a day to remember at ParisLongchamp on Sunday. He was grandsire of the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner, sire of the race’s second and third, and he ended the day when his three-year-old daughter Kelina soared to a Group 1 victory in the Group 1 Prix de la Foret.

This was a welcome return to the highest levels of success for the Wertheimer brothers, and a great payback for their 420,000gns investment in the filly’s dam, Incahoots (Oasis Dream), eight years ago. Then a three-year-old, Incahoots topped the first session of the 2015 Tattersalls December Sale, and the George Strawbridge-owned and bred filly was trained by Freddy Head and won once. On her last two starts that year she was not far away from getting blacktype, and the Wertheimer brothers stated their intent to pursue that aim. It was achieved at Cagnes-Sur-Mer at four.
