HOW could I not look at the family of Leo De Fury? The three-year-old son of Australia (Galileo) is now two-for-two and looks like a stakes horse in the making. The Zhang Yuesheng-owned colt has earned €22,000 from his victories, just €3,000 short of his purchase price at the Goffs Orby Sale two years ago.

Bred by Ben Sangster (pictured), Leo De Fury was sold through Ciaran ‘Flash’ Conroy’s Glenvale Stud to Michael Donohoe of BBA Ireland. His price was, incredibly, about one-eighth of the average that year for a yearling son of the exceptionally well-bred dual Derby winner Australia.
