Qatar Racing Ltd.'s Emotion became the 100^th individual stakes winner for Juddmonte Farms sire Frankel with her win in the British Stallion Studs EBF Chalice Stakes Saturday at Newmarket.

In a Twitter post, Juddmonte noted Frankel, Great Britain's reigning champion sire, matched the record of breed-shaper Danehill as the fastest sire to reach the milestone in 2,402 days each. Frankel, who has seven crops of racing age, is a 14-year-old by Galileo out of Kind, by Danehill.

Saddled by the training team of John and Thady Gosden, Emotion reared at the start but led after the opening furlong in the 1 ½-mile test for fillies and mares. Ridden by Andrea Atzeni, she was headed before the first quarter but stayed prominent. The 3-year-old filly challenged for command over a furlong out then hustled to lead inside the final eighth and stayed on for a one-length triumph.

Emotion was bred in Great Britain from French Group 1 winner Molly Malone, by Lomitas. The mare also is the dam of French Group 2 winner Morgan Le Faye.

A two-time Cartier Horse of the Year and unbeaten in 14 career starts under the late Sir Henry Cecil, Juddmonte homebred Frankel reached a historic milestone in 2021 when he became the fastest stallion to achieve 50 Northern Hemisphere group winners.

Frankel stands at Juddmonte's Banstead Manor Stud in Newmarket.

King Guillermo, who made a presence on the 2020 Kentucky Derby trail, has been retired from racing and sold to enter stud at Haras La Providencia in Argentina for the upcoming Southern Hemisphere breeding season, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.

The 5-year-old son of Uncle Mo finished his on-track career with two wins in 11 starts for earnings of $364,850. He was trained by Juan Carlos Avila for the Victoria's Ranch operation of retired Major League Baseball all-star Victor Martinez.

King Guillermo broke his maiden as a juvenile in his second career start at Gulfstream Park West, then he finished third in the Pulpit Stakes in his debut against black type competition.

He earned his biggest victory in his next start, shipping from south Florida to Tampa Bay Downs for the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby. At odds of 49-1, he tracked close to the pace, and took command in the stretch to win by 4 3/4 lengths.

Now a threat on the Kentucky Derby trail, King Guillermo's next start came in the G1 Arkansas Derby, where he finished second to Nadal.

With ample qualifying points for the 2020 Kentucky Derby, King Guillermo trained up to the race, which was pushed back to September due to COVID-19. He drew into the field, but was scratched in the days leading up to the race due to a fever. He made his final start of his 3-year-old season in the G1 Cigar Mile Handicap, finishing fourth.

King Guillermo raced for two more seasons, competing primarily in graded stakes company, but he never hit the board again after the Arkansas Derby. His final career start came February, when he finished last of seven in the listed Pelican Stakes at Tampa Bay.

Bred in Kentucky by Carhue Investments, Grouseridge Ltd., and Marengo Investments, King Guillermo is out of the unplaced Dixieland Band mare Slow Sand, who was herself a homebred product of the vaunted Wertheimer & Frere breeding program.

A total of 212 yearlings made the catalog for the 2022 Texas Summer Yearling Sale, presented by the Texas Thoroughbred Association and Lone Star Park. The sale will be held on Aug. 29 at the sales pavilion at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas.

The sale will feature a good mix of regional and national stallion and pedigree influence. The catalog lists yearlings by leading 2022 freshman stallions Justify, Good Magic, Sharp Azteca, and Mendelssohn, as well as youngsters by Violence, Bernardini, Tapiture, Midshipman, Jimmy Creed, Midnight Lute, Paynter, Practical Joke, Goldencents, Kantharos, and Keen Ice, sire of 2022 Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike. First crop stallions Mitole, Vino Rosso, Flameaway, Catalina Cruiser, Coal Front, Enticed, Breaking Lucky, Code West, and Preservationist are represented.

“This book represents the best of the best that this region has to offer,” TTA sales director Foster Bridewell said. “Our breeders, owners, and consignors really delivered with quality stallions, families, and physicals. I have been very impressed by this yearling crop, both regionally and nationally, and am looking forward to the sale on Aug. 29.”

Texas and regional stallion power will also be on display this year, featuring yearlings by Texas' top sires Too Much Bling, Bradester, My Golden Song, and Competitive Edge, as well as regional leaders like Star Guitar and El Deal.

“Our Texas and regional programs have gotten stronger in recent years, and I think this year's yearling group is a sign of that,” Bridewell added. “We have a lot of pedigrees that have stakes influence both nationally and locally and that's a sign of the growth our sale has made in recent years.”
