Triple Gr1 Ebony Flyer enters quarantine next week and is set to be bred in 2013 to Galileo
SARAH WHITELAW: Galileo is without question a great stallion, and is showing promise as a tremendous sire of sires. However, it is early days yet to concede that he is a better stallion than his sire, Sadler’s Wells.
The famous foundation mare Allegretta – ancestress of no less than nine winners of eighteen Gr1’s headed by six classics, two Prix de l’Arc de Triomphes, one King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. King’s Apostle’s pedigree represents the Allegretta x Sadler’s Wells cross that produced Galileo.
SARAH WHITELAW:The horse racing year of 2011 was dominated by the progeny of Galileo, sire of Igugu, South Africa’s Horse of the Year.
It’s “Gallops” week for the Emperors Palace Ready To Run Sale, and so the performance of Bloodstock markets around the world was always going to be of topical interest to South African horsemen.
When you reflect on the performances of Igugu, only then will you realise just what stock is available at Gosforth Park on the first Sunday in November.
ROBYN LOUW: Mike and Tanya McHardy of Rathmor Stud were presented with an Equus award for Exceptional International Achievement for their wonderful filly, Gypsy’s Warning. And it seems they’ve got another superstar on their hands!
SARAH WHITELAW: Coolmore stand the two most successful classic sires in the world today, in the form of Montjeu and Galileo. But which is the better stallion?
It’s hard to remember. but just seven short years ago, Sadler’s Wells’ stature as a sire of sires looked problematic. Now Galileo tops the world with an impressive string behind him
