IF a stallion’s legacy is to endure it is important that he gets sons and grandsons who will carry on his line. The great Sadler’s Wells did it, just as his father Northern Dancer (by Neartic) did before him, and now his phenomenal son Galileo appears to be doing the same.

The first of the Galileo stallions have six-year-olds and his sons with first-crop juveniles include one who is already off the mark with his first winner, as of Monday night.
