Gleneagles
With five crops of racing age, Gleneagles is now a well established sire thanks to 30 Stakes winners. He is also sire of One Look, who looked potentially top-class when she took the Goffs Million by 6 lengths on her only start.
Gleneagles is an excellent match for mares by sons of DANEHILL. He has 5 SWs from 27 foals (19%), including Gr.1 winner Loving Dream and Gr.2 winners Insinuendo, Royal Dornoch and Vero Atleta with DANEHILL DANCER mares. The similarly-bred Churchill sired dual classic winner Blue Rose Cen from a grand-daughter of DANEHILL DANCER. Gleneagles’ very exciting daughter One Look has a dam by HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR, he also sired Gr.2 2YO winner Velocidad from a DANSILI mare, as well as three SWs from only 9 foals out of ORATORIO mares and the Japanese Gr.3 2YO winner Shock Action from a FASTNET ROCK mare. There are also Group winners out of CLODOVIL and DUKE OF MARMALADE mares, as well as one out of a mare by HELLVELYN, a grandson of DANZIG.
Southern Hills, out of an INVINCIBLE SPIRIT mare, won the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot, while Gr.2 winner Baby Rider is from a daughter of OASIS DREAM.
An ANABAA mare with Gleneagles produced Royal Lytham winner of the Gr.2 July Stakes.
Gleneagles is also worth trying with daughters of WAR FRONT as Churchill, Australia and Ulysses are other Galileo stallions with smart performers out of WAR FRONT mares.
Gleneagles is just one of Galileo’s stallion sons with important winners closely inbred to SADLER’S WELLS. His Gr.1 winners Loving Dream and Highland Chief are both inbred 3x3 while his Gr.2 winner Insinuendo is inbred 3x4.
Gleneagles’ classic-placed Gr.2 winner Royal Scotsman has a dam by PIVOTAL and his Gr.2 winner Melo Melo is out of a grand-daughter of PIVOTAL, by EXCELLENT ART. It was a THEATRICAL mare that produced Measure of Time.
The MILL REEF line is a leading option as his Gr.1-winning son Highland Chief has a second dam by DARSHAAN.
Gleneagles doesn’t have many foals out of BLUSHING GROOM line mares, but they include Gr.2 winner Jack Darcy, out of a RAINBOW QUEST mare, and Gr.3 2YO winner Freville, out of a mare by RAHY’s grandson LE HAVRE. One Look’s grandam is by ARAZI and Gr.2 winner Royal Donarch has a grandam by GROOM DANCER.
Gleneagles should benefit from more MR PROSPECTOR blood. His very smart son Royal Scotsman has a 2nd dam by GONE WEST. Gleneagles’ Gr.2 winner Novemba has a dam by Kingmambo’s son DUBAI DESTINATION. Two of his Stakes winners, Seisai and Southern Hills, have 2nd dams by KING’S BEST.
Gleneagles already has Group-placed performers out of daughters of LEAR FAN, DR FONG and INTIKHAB. ROBERTO and RED RANSOM sired the second dams of two of his Group winners.
