€30,000 Galiway holds strong at the head of Haras de Colleville's 2024 roster

Galiway, the sire of Group 1-winning brothers Sealiway and Sunway, heads the Haras de Colleville roster at an unchanged fee of €30,000 for 2024. 

The son of Galileo saw Sunway land the Criterium International last month, emulating Sealiway who struck in the Prix Jean Luc-Lagardere at two and then the Champion Stakes at three. 

Aside from Sunway, Galiway had Engaliwe win the Group 3 Prix Minerve this summer, Rubis Vendome in the Group 3 Prix du Lys in June and the Grade 1-winning hurdler Vauban with a first Group score in the Ballyroan Stakes in August. Gala Marceau, bred by Colleville, also finished in the first three in four Grade 1 hurdles, most notably winning two including the Prix Alain du Breil at Auteuil.

Galiway is the sire of 17 Group and Listed winners to date and is among the best stallions in Europe on percentage of black-type winners to runners.

As a broodmare sire, the son of Kendor is responsible for Sunway and Sealiway, as well as Deutsches Derby hero Sisfahan, the last-named through his daughter Kendalee, a homebred of Colleville.

The Listed and Group 2-placed Soft Light, new to the roster in 2023, will remain unchanged at €5,000. The son of Authorized welcomed his first foals this year and he hails from the family of Group and Grade 1 winners Kendor and Leariva.
