It is a pity scat daddy and deep impact passed away early as I think either of them would have got closest to Galileo. Scat daddy covering galileo mares would have been amazing. Snowfall is very like her dad with that acceleration and stamina. Such a shame they left us so early.

Indeed louise. Deep impact was the daddy in Japan as much if not more than Galileo here. Let’s hope Saxon Saxon warrior produces a few champions and snowfalls offspring are as good as she is. The effect Galileo has had on breeding is unfathomable with I think 9 of his descendants running in the derby.John magnier was just scratching the surface with deep impact and I’m sure he wished he had sent more mares to her in hindsight but of course he had the king at coolmore then. Churchill I think will have a big impact as his offspring seem to be much quicker than he was which means he will be well used and I can see him challenging at the top end. Now galileo is gone I don’t think there will be any one as dominant but there will be a few fighting it out.
