ﾀ520,000 Galileo Filly Sets Goffs November Alight

With an earlier Frankel offering, Hip 800, led out unsold atﾆﾬ375,000, it was the freshman's sire Galileo who stepped into the breach to lead the way on the final day of Goffs' November foal sale when his April-foaled 3/4-sister to last year's G1 Sussex S. and this term's G1 Queen Anne victor Toronado (Ire) (High Chaparral {Ire}) was knocked down to Horse France's Robert Nataf forﾆﾬ520,000. The bay, offered as Hip 826 by Jockey Hall Stud on behalf of breeder Littlejohn Bloodstock, is out of a half-sister to the 2010 G1 Racing Post Trophy winner Casamento (Ire) (Shamardal), whose first-crop foals were well received earlier in the week.ﾠ”She's been bought for an existing client and will probably be resold at Deauville [Arqana August] next year,” Nataf told Racing Post. “I know the filly and her family well as my brother, Paul, bred Toronado.”
