REILEY McDonald from Eaton Bloodstock made a number of purchases, and at 800,000gns he secured the Galileo mare Easter. “She is for Athens Woods Farm in Kentucky,” said McDonald. “We are putting together a bunch of US and European-bred mares. The yearlings will be sold.”

McDonald added: “She [Easter] is by Galileo and I want to get as many mares by Galileo as I can!” Winner of the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes at Gowran Park, Easter was sold by Norelands Stud and is expecting her fourth foal in March by Kingman.
