GALILEO streets ahead RACING POST STORY BY RACHEL PAGONES
|
|
|
|
GALILEO is so far in front of the third-season sire standings,
|
|
|
based on total prize-money won in Britain and Europe,
|
|
|
that the earnings for the next three sires down the list put together
|
|
|
do not add up to the Pfd.1.444.743 won by his runners.
|
|
|
Irish Derby winner SOLDIER OF FORTUNE is responsible for nearly half that sum,
|
|
|
but with six European Pattern winners and nine pattern wins to his credit halfway
|
|
|
through the 2007 season, GALILEO is clearly no one-trick pony.
|
|
|
MAHLER, winner of the 2m Queen’s Vase, has been his other big three-year-old,
|
|
|
while ALLEGRETTO (2m Henry II Stakes and Thursday’s Goodwood Cup),
|
|
|
RED ROCKS (1m2f Gordon Richards Stakes) and SIXTIES ICON (1m4f Jockey Club Stakes)
|
|
|
have continued to do his first crop proud with Group wins at four.
|
|
|
On the up-and-coming front, his son NEW APPROACH looks like one of the most exiting
|
|
|
three-year-old prospects for next year after remaining unbeaten with a win in the Group 3
|
|
|
Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown last Saturday.
|
|
|
Further bolstering the portfolio, GALILEO’s three-year-old daughter MAMIBIA won a Listed
|
|
|
1m event in Munich last Sunday, and his heritage could not have been hotter last weekend.
|
|
|
as on Saturday his half-sister MY TYPHOON won her first Grade 1, the Diana Stakes at Saratoga,
|
|
|
becoming the third top-class winner out of their dam, the Arc winner URBAN SEA.
|
|
|
This is no tangential matter, as female lines are just as important to a stallion’s success as sire lines.
|
|
|
In the case of SADLER’S WELLS, we all know of the disappointments pre the MONTJEU and GALILEO era,
|
|
|
and although the secret’s behind MONTJEU’s family may be a bit more esoteric,
|
|
|
the strength in GALILEO’s family is something any pedigree ingenue can grasp.
|
|
|
The first two generations have produced more than a dozen black-type winners
|
|
|
as well as the useful-lookingyoung sires ANABAA BLUE, KING’S BEST and TERTULLIAN,
|
|
|
who appears in 15th place on the third-season sires’table.
|
|
|
MY TYPHOON must be among a very short list bought for seven-figure sums (as a foal, no less)
|
|
|
who’ve earned in seven figures on the racecourse.
|
|
|
Granted, she cost 1.800.000gns, and if the dollar keeps going south,
|
|
|
it will take more than a Breeders’ Cup win to earn that back, but $1.3m in prize-money
|
|
|
is something few sale-toppers achieve in their life.
