Classic winner Galileo Gold (GB), who spent five seasons at Tally-Ho Stud in Ireland, will move to Haras de Bouquetot in France next year. His fee will be announced at a later date.
Co-owned by Al Shaqab Racing and Tally-Ho, the chestnut won the G1 2000 Guineas and G1 St James's Palace S. His progeny are led by Ebro River (Ire), who prevailed in the G1 Phoenix S., as well as the multiple group winner Oscula (Ire). He has two other stakes winners, and another four staked placed runners to date.
Haras de Bouquetot's Stud Manager Benoit Jeffroy said, “We're delighted to be welcoming Group 1 sire Galileo Gold in France in a joint venture with his co-owners Tally-Ho Stud, who have done a fantastic job with giving him the best chances for his start at stud. Galileo Gold has already shown his abilities as a valuable sire of precocious horses, with over 10% black-type horses to runners with his first crop of 2-year-olds, and with the numbers he's covered this past year we can only hope for more to come.
“With Toronado (Ire) being so successful in Australia, we took the decision to keep him there and we're confident that Galileo Gold will be as good a value as Toronado was to local breeders.”
