CLASSIC WINNER RETIRED TO STUD 10 Dec 2020 16:05
Joseph O’Brien’s St
Leger winner Galileo Chrome has been retired to stand as a National Hunt
stallion at Starfield Stud.
The colt went through
his three-year-old season unbeaten in four outings, progressing with each
race.O’Brien said: “Australia was one of the best I rode and Galileo Chrome is
easily one of the best I’ve trained.
“Unbeaten this year
culminating in the St Leger, I think he could have been the leading
middle-distance horse in Europe next year.However, fortunately for breeders, he
retires to stud and offers an opportunity to use a top-class racehorse. He’s a
beautiful looking individual with all the qualities I look for. I could not
recommend him enough and look forward to training his offspring.”
A grandson of
Galileo, Galileo Chrome won four of just five starts and was produced by the
Dansili mare Curious Mind.
