MAHLER (Galileo) was one of the best classic colts of his generation and his place at stud was guaranteed once he proved himself on the racectrack. He only ran at three, failed to make it to the races at four, and he retired to stud as a five-year-old. He holds court at The Beeches Stud and his 2019 fee of €5,500 is likely to increase if his current rate of success continues.

Last weekend two geldings from his third crop, Glen Forsa and Chris’s Dream, landed Grade 2 contests and brought to six the number of blacktype winners he has sired.
