Galileo is building a very impressive record with daughters of
STORM CAT.
Galileo now has eight Group winners and
five of them – Churchill, Ballydoyle, Misty For Me, Marvellous and Gleneagles – are Gr.1 winners. Teofilo, another
champion son of Galileo, sired the Gr.1 winner Loch Garman from a daughter of
GIANT’S CAUSEWAY
. As Marvellous
and Gleneagles are out of a sister to
GIANT’S CAUSEWAY,
this is an option with plenty to offer.
The Dewhurst Stakes victory by Teofilo’s son Parish Hall opens the door to close inbreeding to
SADLER’S WELLS
,
as he is out of a
MONTJEU
mare.
Ruler Of The World can be expected to shine with the
MILL REEF
line, which has produced three generations of Gr.1
winners to Galileo. Galileo has ten Group winners out of
DARSHAAN
mares and has also thrived with Darshaan’s son
with
MARK OF ESTEEM
.
Galileo sired the Gr.1 winner Galikova from a
BLUSHING GROOM
mare, while
RAINBOW QUEST
sired the second
dam of Frankel and Noble Mission,
ARAZI
sired the second dam of Lush Lashes and
RAHY
sired the second dams of
Marvellous, Gleneagles and Deauville. Frankel and Teofilo have both sired Gr.2 winners from daughters of
RAHY
while
a
GROOM DANCER
mare produced another Gr.2 winner to Teofilo.
Galileo’s classic winners New Approach and Was respectively have a dam and a second dam by the top sprinter
AHONOORA
. Galileo also has three Group winners, including a classic winner, from mares by
INDIAN RIDGE
.
Ruler Of The World’s half-brother Duke of Marmalade had a Gr.3 winner with a dam by
INDIAN RIDGE
.
The
SHARPEN UP
line is another that should suit him as it has worked well with Galileo while Duke of Marmalade
sired the Prix de Diane winner Star of Seville from a
SELKIRK
mare. Galileo has a striking record with mares by
BERING
and his son
PENNEKAMP
.
Galileo is shining with the
ROBERTO
line, notably siring Gr.1 winners from daughters of
SILVER HAWK
. Found heads
his strong team out of
INTIKHAB
mares. He has also sired Group winners from daughters of
DYNAFORMER
,
KRIS S.
LEAR FAN
,
RED RANSOM
,
DR FONG
and
SRI PEKAN
.
Ruler Of The World
is a decisive winner
of the sire-making
Epsom Derby-Gr.1
