“somewhat surprisingly he is the only elite son of Galileo in this sire crop. The Gurkha raced exclusively at three and jumped from maiden company to win the 2016 G1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains. He was runner-up in the G1 St James’s Palace S. and the G1 Coral-Eclipse before besting Galileo Gold by a neck in the G1 Sussex S. in what would prove his final start due to a bout of colic suffered thereafter. The Gurkha is similarly bred to Frankel, being out of the Group 3-winning Danehill Dancer (Ire) mare Chintz (Ire), and his second dam is a half-sister to G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner Solemia (Ire) (Poliglote {GB})… the fact that he is down to €12,500 at Coolmore makes 2020 the right time to roll the dice.” @thoroughbred _daily_news Value Sires: First 2-Year-olds feature, 22nd January #CoolmoreSires #HomeOfChampions #TheGurkha #CoolmoreIreland #Coolmore #Horses #Horseracing #HorsesOfInstagram #Thoroughbred #thoroughbredracing
“Gleneagles (Ire) (pictured first), who bears such a close physical resemblance to his sire Galileo (Ire) (pictured second)… made a more than pleasing start in 2019… He has two Group 2 winners to his credit – the colts named after fellow Scottish golf courses Royal Lytham (Fr) and Royal Dornoch (Ire), who landed the July Stakes and Royal Lodge Stakes respectively – as well as the Royal Ascot winner Southern Hills (Ire), who won the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes… There’s good reason to believe that members of his first crop will be gracing Classic fields later this year.” @thoroughbred _daily_news, 5th January 2020 #CoolmoreSires #HomeOfChampions #CoolmoreIreland #Gleneagles #Galileo #Coolmore #Horses #Horseracing #HorsesOfInstagram #Thoroughbred #thoroughbredracing

“A great first book… Order Of St George covered 275 mares in his jumps sire role at Castlehyde Stud according to returns lodged with Weatherbys… Among the accomplished racemares and/or producers in the son of Galileo’s book were Asian Maze, a four-time Grade 1 winner and dam of useful hurdler Cup Final; Pomme Tiepy, a Grade 2-winning chaser and dam of Grade 1-placed Mortal; Fashionista, the dam of Cheltenham Gold Cup victor Bobs Worth; and Augest Weekend and Norabelle, mothers respectively of Total Recall and Invitation Only.” @racingpost #CoolmoreNHSires #HomeOfChampions #Castlehyde #OrderOfStGeorge #Coolmore #Horses #Horseracing #HorsesOfInstagram #Thoroughbred #thoroughbredracing
