There are Blue Hens and Then There are BLUE HENS!

Tara Madgwick - Sunday October 16

In the latter category is remarkable 17 year-old mare You’resothrilling, who produced her seventh stakes-winner in Ireland overnight with Irish Oaks runner-up Toy claiming the Listed Garnet Stakes (1m) at Naas.

Trained by Aidan O’Brien, the Galileo filly bounced back  from an unplaced run in the German Oaks to tick the box of stakes-winner with a half length win on heavy ground.

Toy

has two wins and three placings from eight starts and may head to the US as part of the Ballydoyle Breeders Cup team.

Toy becomes the 359th stakes-winner for champion sire Galileo and is one of eight winners from eight to race for Group II winning Storm Cat mare You’resothrilling, the full sister to champion racehorse and sire Giant’s Causeway.

You’resothrilling has been married to Galileo since retiring to stud and all of her eight winners are by the legendary sire:

HAPPILY (f 2015) Champion 2YO Filly Dual G1

MARVELLOUS  (f 2011)- G1 Irish Thousand Guineas, dam of SW Blue Soldier

COOLMORE (f 2013) – G3 winner and G1 placed

TOY (f 2018) – SW and G1 placed

Vatican City (c 2017) G1 placed

Toy is the last foal for You’resothrilling by Galileo and she was covered by Dubawi in 2021, but sadly lost the resulting foal although has been covered by him again.
