Another Seven-Figure Horse for Galileo

Just two lots after a filly by Raven’s Pass lit up the Goffs tote, a filly by the irrepressible Galileo (Ire) accounted for the third seven-figure transaction of the session and fourth of the sale overall when selling to Oliver St Lawrence Bloodstock for €1.05 million at Orby. Hip 434 was bred by Kirsten Rausing and was offered by Staffordstown. A Mar. 24 foal, the bay is the third foal out of Starlit Sands (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB), a Group 3 winner in France, Group 2-placed in England and Group 2-placed in Germany. Starlit Sands is a half-sister to Scandinavian champion Sea Dane (GB) (Danehill) and to Summer Night (GB) (Nashwan), the dam of four full black-type winners, including Songerie (GB) (Hernando {Fr}).
