Australia Again for China Horse Club?

Australia Again for China Horse Club?… 
The China Horse Club has experienced the year of a lifetime courtesy G1 Investec Derby, G1 Irish Derby and G1 Juddmonte International winner Australia (GB) (Galileo {Ire})–in which China Horse Club Chairman Teo Ah Khing is a part owner–and the operation will hope to relive that magic after going to 875,000gns yesterday for another by Galileo in lot 170. 
Bidding on the chestnut son of Another Storm (Gone West) was opened at 100,000gns by Grant Pritchard-Gordon of Badgers Bloodstock, but that agent bowed out at 500,000gns, leaving the China Horse Club’s Michael Wallace to duke it out with Ross Doyle and Charlie Gordon-Watson. Gordon-Watson played a valiant role as underbidder, but could not counter Wallace’s final offer, smiling and shaking his head as the hammer fell. 
Wallace noted that April-foaled colt bore a resemblance to Australia. 
“He’s a nice horse, very strong,” Wallace said after signing the docket. “Obviously the China Horse Club shares ownership in Australia, and this colt reminded us a lot of him.” 
Another Storm has produced three stakes winners from six runners, including G3 Prix Paul Moussac winner Asperity (War Chant) and GIII Valley View S. heroine Angel Terrace (Ghostzapper). Her 2-year-old, Order of St George (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was a $550,000 Keeneland September yearling and has made a promising start to his career for team Coolmore, having broken his maiden by 8 1/2 lengths at third asking at Leopardstown in August. 
“He’s by a champion sire and the mare has done a fantastic job already,” Wallace noted, adding, “He’ll stay in Europe, but we haven’t decided on a trainer yet. I’m sure we won’t have much trouble finding one.” 
The Galileo colt was the China Horse Club’s second transaction of the sale after they picked up an Acclamation (GB) filly for 300,000 during Tuesday’s opening session. These youngsters are added to a haul picked up at European sales in the last seven weeks. After going to €560,000 for a Galileo filly at Arqana August, the China Horse Club picked up three at Goffs Orby last week for €1.13 million, and was also busy at Arqana’s Arc sale over the weekend, buying five horses in training–including the top three lots of the boutique sale–for €2.67 million. 
The China Horse Club has horses in training in nine countries–including the U.S. with Christophe Clement–but Wallace noted that Britain in one of them just yet. 
A few minutes later Wallace returned to the action, securing a Street Cry (Ire) filly out of the Group 3-placed Arkadina (Ire) (Danehill) (lot 178) for 200,000gns.
