GIVEN that Kingman was responsible for the top three prices at the Goffs November Foal Sale, it’s no surprise to see the Juddmonte stallion record the highest average foal price of any sire whose progeny were auctioned at the major sales last autumn.

Okay, only eight Kingman foals were sold but they produced an average price of over €500,000. That’s even higher than Frankel, who also had eight foals traded for an average of €441,229, leaving Juddmonte with the first two places in the table.
