NORTHERN HEMISPHERE-BRED GR.1 AND GR.2 WINNERS BY
RULER OF THE WORLD’S SIRE GALILEO,
See Galileo.
MATING SUGGESTIONS:
Ruler Of The World comes from one of the world’s most sought-after female lines, his third dam being the celebrated
Lassie Dear. Ruler Of The World’s profile has received a considerable boost from the recent exploits of his top-class
half-brother Duke of Marmalade. This champion older horse has enjoyed tremendous international success, siring Gr.1
classic winners in Britain, France and Germany.
The fact that Ruler Of The World is a half-brother to a champion by
DANEHILL
makes mares from the
DANZIG
line
the first line of attack – especially as his sire Galileo has such a brilliant record with this line. Galileo’s 27 Group
winners out of
DANEHILL
mares feature the brilliant Frankel, Teofilo, Highland Reel, Intello, Golden Lilac and Roderic
O’Connor. Galileo’s triple Gr.1 winner Lush Lashes is out of an
ANABAA
mare and Gr.1 winner Adelaide is another
whose broodmare sire is a son of
DANZIG
.
Galileo sired the Derby-winning Australia from a mare by
CAPE CROSS
, who also sired Galileo’s outstanding
half-brother Sea The Stars. Galileo’s record with
GREEN DESERT
mares is excellent, featuring the Epsom Oaks winner
Was. Ruler Of The World should suit mares by
INVINCIBLE SPIRIT
and
OASIS DREAM
, especially as his half-brother
Duke of Marmalade has a Gr.3 winner with a dam by
INVINCIBLE SPIRIT
.
Galileo is also achieving highly promising results with mares by sons of
DANEHILL
, with the top-class Minding,
The Gurkha and Alice Springs leading his Gr.1 winners out of mares by
DANEHILL DANCER
. There are also Gr.1
winners out of mares by
MOZART
(Magician) and
ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
.
The
CHIEF’S CROWN
branch of the
DANZIG
male line could reinforce Ruler Of The World’s classic ability. Teofilo
sired Voleuse de Coeurs and Trading Leather from mares by
GRAND LODGE
and his son
SINNDAR
.
Galileo’s very good results with the
NUREYEV
line include five Group winners out of
PIVOTAL
mares, led by the Gr.1
winners Rhododendron and The United States. Ruler Of The World’s half-brother Duke of Marmalade has the German
Derby winner Nutan out of a
PEINTRE CELEBRE
mare, the multiple Gr.2 winner Big Orange out of a
FASLIYEV
mare
and a Gr.3 winner out of a
SOVIET STAR
mare. Duke of Marmalade also sired the classic-winning Simple Verse from a
SADLER’S WELLS
mare.
