FIRST YEARLINGS

Noble Mission – Frankel's Group 1-winning brother

7/8/2017

 
Picture
NOBLE MISSION (GB) - 2009 bay horse
The presence or absence of successful sires in the family is one of the things that we look for when trying to assess the potential of any young stallion, and in the case of Noble Mission, this is a test that he passes with flying colours. The triple Group 1 star is the year-younger full-brother to Frankel.

That Timeform 147-rated great has already come up with 10 pattern winners from his first crop, which is a very promising start, and although the tally includes the Japanese champion and classic heroine Soul Stirring, it does not include the dual Derby-placed colt Cracksman.

​The support that Frankel received made it odds-on that he would get a long list of stakes winners from his first crop, and it is to be hoped that his first European Group 1 stars will be crowned soon.

One more sleep...

Who will follow in Noble Mission's hoof prints to be a QIPCO Champion Stakes hero? #ChampionsDay https://t.co/0gFxSCSimY

His full-brother 'only' won three times at the highest level and although that Timeform 128-rated bay stands at the famous Lane's End Farm in Kentucky, it would not be fair to expect him to come up with similar first-crop results.

There is, however, every reason to hope that Noble Mission, like a growing number of son of prolific champion sire Galileo (by Sadler's Wells), will become a source of stakes winners, at all levels, and it will be fascinating to see how his career turns out, especially as he is a middle-distance turf horse standing in the USA.

He covered 146 mares in his first season, he will have some runners in Europe and it seems likely that his two-year-old winners here will come over seven furlongs and farther, with his three-year-olds and older horses needing at least a mile.

NOBLE MISSION (GB) - b.2009 - Galileo - Kind, 9 wins inc Champion Stakes (Gr1), Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, Tattersalls Gold Cup (Gr1), Huxley Stakes (Gr3), Gordon Richards Stakes (Gr3), Gordon Stakes (Gr3), Newmarket Stakes (L), Tapster Stakes (L), 2nd Grosser Dallmayr Preis - Bayerisches Zuchtrennen (Gr1), King Edward VII Stakes (Gr2), St Simon Stakes (Gr3), John Porter Stakes (Gr3), Fairway Stakes (L), 3rd Rose of Lancaster Stakes (Gr3), John Porter Stakes (Gr3).
