Description

Top Staying Prospect

You can’t buy a horse with this stayers pedigree and bloodlines often in Australia. By Galileo’s son Australia, this gelding is already a winner and was purchased as a yearling from Tattersalls 2021 October sale. He could be a very good cups horse in jurisdictions outside of the elite VIC and NSW metro.

Owners want to focus on potential group horses. This family is littered with Group 1 winners including Melbourne Cup winner Rekindling
