VALE KIND 08 Mar 2021 16:34
It is with regret
that Juddmonte announces the passing of Kind (Danehill – Rainbow Lake), the dam
of Gr.1 winners Frankel and Noble Mission, on 8th March due to complications
after foaling a colt by Kingman on 2nd March.
Kind was a second
generation Juddmonte homebred. Her family came into the Juddmonte Stud Book
through the mare Rockfest – who was purchased privately in 1983 as part of a
bloodstock package from the John ‘Jock’ Hay Whitney dispersal. When mated
with Rainbow Quest – Rockfest produced the Lancashire Oaks winner Rainbow Lake
who went on to compile an enviable record as a broodmare as the dam of three
Group/Graded Stakes winners– Gr.1 winner Powerscourt, Gr.2 winner Riposte and
Gr.3 winner Last Train.
Kind’s legacy is to
have five stallion sons at stud and her daughter Joyeuse and granddaughters
Jubiloso and Jovial are in the broodmare band. Her three-year-old Galileo filly
Chiasma is currently in training with John Gosden.
Between them, Kind’s
sons Frankel and Noble Mission (both by Galileo) captured 13 G1 races, with
Frankel the highest rated horse in Timeform history.
