Perfect ten for Frankel as Aljezeera wins on her debut

Juvenile filly is trained by Luca Cumani for Al Shaqab

Aljezeera: is the tenth individual winner from Frankel's first crop of two-year-olds

The blistering start Frankel has enjoyed with his two-year-olds continued on Saturday when his daughter Aljezeera won on her debut at Doncaster, and in the process became his tenth individual winner from his first crop.

Out of the dual Grade 1-winning Dynaformer mare Dynaforce, Aljezeera was bred by Newsells Park Stud and bought by Charlie Gordon-Watson on behalf of Al Shaqab for 450,000gns at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale last year.
