Among the honour roll of the Sussex Stakes, the famous mile race contest over the Glorious Goodwood carnival, sit five subsequent champion sires of Great Britain and Ireland.
Frankel is the most famous of them, and the modern-day champion is the only horse in the Sussex Stakes’ 146-year history to have won the race twice in 2011 and 2012. (The race was restricted to three-year-olds only until 1960).
The other four to graduate from Sussex success to stallion supremacy are Orme, Queen’s Hussar, Petingo and Kris.
