Galilean Represented By First Winner At the Big A

1st-Belmont The Big A, $80,000, (S), Msw, 9-13, 2yo, 7f, 1:24.84, ft, 1 3/4 lengths.
FROUTIEN (c, 2, Galilean–It's Timeless, by Mineshaft) was hammered into 1-4 favoritism to improve on a debut third at Saratoga Aug. 15 and did just that, becoming the first winner for his freshman sire (by Uncle Mo) with a workmanlike victory in the Saturday opener at Aqueduct.

With Kendrick Carmouche taking over from John Velazquez, at Woodbine for the afternoon to ride that track's three Grade I contests, the $700,000 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic breezer was ridden for speed and maintained a narrow advantage through an opening quarter-mile that was clocked in :22.84. Continuing to lead for the run around the turn while being urged along, Froutien kept finding into the final furlong and was always holding the late bid of the debuting Royal Riddle (Practical Joke) in the run to the line, scoring by 1 3/4 lengths.

A $95,000 purchase out of last year's Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Yearling Sale, Froutien was led out unsold on a bid of $160,000 at OBS this past March. Re-routed for the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale a couple of months later, the May 7 foal breezed an eighth of a mile in :10 1/5 over the sloppy Timonium track before hammering to Mahmoud Mouni on behalf of the Libyan-based Tagermeen Racing.

Froutien is out of a daughter of MSP What Time It Is, also the dam of two-time stakes winner Never Enough Time (Munnings). The dam produced a Cyberknife colt this term and was bred back to Solomini. Galilean, who stands for $3,500 at Questroyal New York, was himself a $600,000 2-year-old in training purchase and won six of his 16 starts, all in stakes company,while under the care of John Sadler.

Andy and the late Susan Beadnell also bred New York-bred Haveyougoneaway (Congrats), winner of the 2016 GI Ballerina Stakes. Sales history: $95,000 Ylg '24 SARAUG; $160,000 RNA 2yo '25 OBSMAR; $700,000 2yo '25 EASMAY. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $54,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
