Galileo is building a very impressive record with daughters of STORM CAT. Galileo now has eight Group winners and five of them – Churchill, Ballydoyle, Misty For Me, Marvellous and Gleneagles – are Gr.1 winners. Teofilo, another champion son of Galileo, sired the Gr.1 winner Loch Garman from a daughter of GIANT’S CAUSEWAY . As Marvellous and Gleneagles are out of a sister to GIANT’S CAUSEWAY, this is an option with plenty to offer. The Dewhurst Stakes victory by Teofilo’s son Parish Hall opens the door to close inbreeding to SADLER’S WELLS , as he is out of a MONTJEU mare. Ruler Of The World can be expected to shine with the MILL REEF line, which has produced three generations of Gr.1 winners to Galileo. Galileo has ten Group winners out of DARSHAAN mares and has also thrived with Darshaan’s son with MARK OF ESTEEM . Galileo sired the Gr.1 winner Galikova from a BLUSHING GROOM mare, while RAINBOW QUEST sired the second dam of Frankel and Noble Mission, ARAZI sired the second dam of Lush Lashes and RAHY sired the second dams of Marvellous, Gleneagles and Deauville. Frankel and Teofilo have both sired Gr.2 winners from daughters of RAHY while a GROOM DANCER mare produced another Gr.2 winner to Teofilo. Galileo’s classic winners New Approach and Was respectively have a dam and a second dam by the top sprinter AHONOORA . Galileo also has three Group winners, including a classic winner, from mares by INDIAN RIDGE . Ruler Of The World’s half-brother Duke of Marmalade had a Gr.3 winner with a dam by INDIAN RIDGE . The SHARPEN UP line is another that should suit him as it has worked well with Galileo while Duke of Marmalade sired the Prix de Diane winner Star of Seville from a SELKIRK mare. Galileo has a striking record with mares by BERING and his son PENNEKAMP . Galileo is shining with the ROBERTO line, notably siring Gr.1 winners from daughters of SILVER HAWK . Found heads his strong team out of INTIKHAB mares. He has also sired Group winners from daughters of DYNAFORMER , KRIS S. LEAR FAN , RED RANSOM , DR FONG and SRI PEKAN .
