This amazing sire has just added the
Irish 1000 Guineas
too with
Misty for Me
. What an extraordinary run he’s having.
Galileo haters are seething
1-2 in the Irish 1000 Guineas horse in 5th.
4 Classic Winners out of 6
Mate their not seething, they’re just bloody clueless!
Can’t remember who said Galileo was a poor sire but I am laughing hard right now!
Keep them comments coming, it’s worthy of the Betfair forum intelligence wise.
Nobody said that. Your imagination did. It’s amazing that some people can’t read, not just yourself, Mr. Wilson.
Frankel, a freak, wins a 2000 Guineas from the front over a stiff mile. Roderic O’Connor wins a bad Irish 2000 Guineas from the front over a stiff mile.
Nick Mordin is supposed to have said that Golden Lilac is a freak. So Galileo gets freaks as well as normal classic winners.How about Galicova; what is she aimed at?

Galikova
goes for the
Prix Diane
, where she’ll meet today’s
Alary
winner.
Galileo had first and second in the French Oaks today,the Prix de Diane was won by Golden Lilac with Galikova second.Galileo must be the sire to go to for Cliassic winners following this year’s results.First and second in the Irish One Thousand Guineas.First and second in the English Two Thousand Guineas.First in the Irish Two Thousand Guineas.First in the French One Thousand Guineas. Second in the English One Thousand Guineas.Second in the Derby beaten a nose.What a year and what a sire.

To think some pedigree experts were calling him average or rubbish in other words.
I’ll never live that comment down, it’s fantastic.
Galileo is the best.
Does this make Galileo the sire of the century? Six classic winners so far in Ireland, France and England.Iriah Oaks and Doncaster St.Leger still to come.I never heard of such a wonder sire as this. Am I dreaming because the press seems to not notice? Four brilliant fillies in MFM,GL,WoW and Galicova and the season has just begun.Frankel a brilliant miler and TB second (a nose) at Epsom and winner of Irish Derby.I am agog with wonder at sech a sire.Not too many classics left for the arab sires to win.

There are a dozen Galileo threads open Andy.
Fair statement. Racing Post reported the vistory of Treasure Beach in a broad colum and at length without ever mentioning the breeding so I got a bit pissed. I just thought that the big "G" deserved more notice in the racing press.Nothing like what he has done ever happened before.When I look at the plaudits for this stud and for that stud and Galileo is treated the same way as an ordinary stud which is what most of them are,I get pissed!
Delpech said: "I knew that it would take a monster to get past me because Igugu doesn’t know how to lie down. I will never ride another filly as good but there was a lot of pressure on me because of all the expectation." Another one for Galileo.
"The 2-1 favourite Igugu (Mike de Kock/Anthony Delpech) gave South Africa’s champion trainer his second successive win in the country’s greatest race, the Durban July." How many Group One fillies this year is that now? Golden Lilac,Misty For Me, and now Igugu.Wonderful.I wrongly stated in opening this thread that WOW was a Galileo. She is of course a Kingmambo fillie and I regret my error.
Galileo was on fire until the Derby then Montjeu took over. Frankel kept Galileo in the limelight all year but Montjeu has been enormous since the Derby.Camelot promises more for next year.How many sons of both will join the studfarm at Coolmore before they are finished? Don’t forget the NH potential of Montjeu with the Champion Hurdle this year already under his belt.
From an emotional viewpoint Montjeu everytime. Montjeu had a ‘dismal’ 2010 and this may influence the current trend towards Galileo.
That said, Seamie Heffernan’s comment about Twirl and her Galileo influence over the weekend though probably says why he is so successful (even after the Ballydoyle/Coolmore promotional twist is taken out)
