Galileo Gold bids to join most exclusive of clubs
Galileo Gold will crown another superb season for Hugo Palmer and join one of miling’s most elite groups if he can add the QEII to his 2,000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes victories.
He will have to improve on a disappointing effort behind Ribchester in the Prix Jacques le Marois, but while acknowledging the enormity of the task, Palmer believes he has Galileo Gold back in tip-top shape for his bid to join an exclusive group that includes true greats Brigadier Gerard and Frankel.
Palmer said: “If Galileo Gold can win, so far as I can see he joins Brigadier Gerard, To-Agori-Mou and Frankel as the only three-year-olds to win the English Guineas, St James’s Palace and QEII in the same season since the 1970s.
