Atlantic Jewel's Galileo Filly Leads Aussie Interest at Tattersalls

Mark Smith - Tuesday October 8

There's no shortage of Aussie interest over the three days of Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale and while Atlantic Jewel's Galileo filly takes centre stage there can be no denying that the influx of European-breds to Australia in the past decade has been a positive for many a pedigree page.

The remarkable Galileo has 20 lots on offer after a couple of scratchings in the 552 yearlings catalogued.

Beaten just once in a stellar career that included wins in the All Aged Stakes, Memsie Stakes, 1000 Guineas and Caulfield Stakes, Atlantic Jewel (Fastnet Rock) has been a regular visitor to Galileo. 


Baroda Stud will consign the daughter of Atlantic Jewel who has had two to race with Pacific Ocean winning a maiden at Navan in five starts while her 2yo colt Russian Emperor finished a promising third in a maiden at the Curragh won by Iberia who recently finished third in the Group II Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket.

The two great Australian success stories Exceed And Excel and Fastnet Rock will be represented in the elite section of the sale with the former having four lots and the latter 13.

Twenty-five yearlings by the ever-popular Dubawi will keep the tills clicking and they include a half-sister to two stakes place getters out of the Group IIII Gold Coast Guineas winner Florentina (Redoute's Choice) a half-sister to Group 1 winner Gathering. (image below Tattersalls). 


Some other that may be of interest include lot 19 a daughter of No Nay Never that is a sister to The Everest Bound, July Cup winner Ten Sovereigns from the family of Oakleigh Plate winner Shamal Wind.

Lot 142 is a brother to the recently retired Caulfield Cup hero Best Solution (Kodiac).

Lot 159 is a Siyouni half-brother to three stakes-winners including Chris Waller's Group II winner and multiple Group 1 placed Weary who was known by the distinctly more upmarket name of Sir Patrick Moore in Europe.

Lot 185 is another son of Siyouni out of the Group III winner Bal de La Rose who is also the dam of Australian Bloodstock's Cox Plate hopeful Danceteria (Redoute's Choice).

Lot 225 is a Lope de Vega three-quarter-brother to Group 1 winner and Underwood Stakes third Crackerjack King and a half-brother to Group 1 winner and Melbourne Cup third Jakkalberry.
