Galileo marches towards beating his own great sire's records

Whereas a single Group 1 winner is a noteworthy achievement for most stallions, we have come to regard Galileo’s dominance in that department as business as usual.

Only once since 2011 has he fired in fewer than seven northern hemisphere Group/Grade 1 winners in a year, a fact that has contributed to his six consecutive sire championships since 2010.

His northern hemisphere tally for the season already stands at six and with the promise of another regally-connected crop of juveniles in the pipeline, he stands within striking distance of surpassing last year’s personal best of ten.
