The magical 300th stakes-winner was four year-old mare Birch Grove, who won the Listed Prix Casino Tranchant de Villers-Sur-Mer in France overnight, her third win and first in a Black Type race.
Interestingly, she is from Group II winner Danehurst, a daughter of Coolmore's earlier champion sire Danehill, whose 347 stakes-winners is the all time record for a stallion.
Galileo's honour roll of stakes-winners includes 89 Group I winners including the trio standing at stud here this year.

Seven time Group I winner Highland Reel is the highest stakes earning European colt in history and stands at Swettenham Stud at a fee of $16,500. He covered 148 mares last year and has his first Australian foals on the ground this spring.
