Tara Madgwick - Friday July 15

There is more to the Galileo sireline than just Frankel with his champion son Teofilo making his presence felt overnight as the sire of a new stakes-winner and the grand-sire of another.

The Listed Glasgow Stakes (1m3f) at Hamilton was won by progressive 3YO staying colt West Wind Blows, who was last seen finishing ninth in the Group I Epsom Derby and bounced back from that to score a commanding seven length win.

Trained by Simon and Ed Crisford, West Wind Blows has now won three of four starts and holds entries for several upcoming Group races including the Arc.

Bred by Godolphin and raced by Abdulla Al Mansoori, West Wind Blows is the first stakes-winner among five winners from Group I French Oaks winner West Wind, a half-sister to the dam of two-time Dubai World Cup winner Thunder Snow.

This family has been a productive one for Godolphin with their current star 3YO colt Coroebus also appearing on the page.

West Wind Blows is the 109th stakes-winner for Teofilo, who shuttled to Australia for six seasons coming for the last time in 2017. He has left Southern Hemisphere bred Group I winners here such as Happy Clapper, Humidor, Kermadec and Palentino as well siring two imported Melbourne Cup winners in Cross Counter and Twilight Payment.

Now 18, Teofilo stands at Darley’s Kildangan Stud in Ireland at a fee of €30,000

The Listed Rose Bowl Stakes (6f) at Newbury was won by the Andrew Balding trained 2YO  colt Chateau, a son of Teofilo’s Group I winning sire son Havana Gold.

A last start fourth at Royal Ascot in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes, he scored by a length and has now won two of four starts.

Bought for 90,000 guineas  this year at the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale by Highclere Agency he is a three-quarter brother to stakes-winner King Carney from placed Dansili mare Petit Trianon, a sister to stakes-winner Preferential.

He is the 14th stakes-winner for Havana Gold, who stands at Tweenhills Stud at a fee of £12,500
