stodge 1,912 Report post Posted July 10, 2021 News here this evening of the passing of GALILEO at the age of 23. The stallion suffered a debilitating foot injury and was put to sleep this afternoon (UK). As a racehorse, GALILEO was a champion as a 3-y-o, winning the English and Irish Derbies and the King George before being just touched off by FANTASTIC LIGHT in the Irish Champion before ending his career by running sixth in the Breeders Cup Classic. It's as a stallion however that GALILEO will be remembered. His most successful sons include FRANKEL, NEW APPROACH, RIP VAN WINKLE, NATHANIEL and WALDGEIST to name but five. It's his record as a sire of successful broodmares which is I think his true legacy which will ensure his presence remains for decades to come.
