Bred by Coolmore. Surprised they would let one of the last 12 Galileo offspring sell for 125,000 as a yearling. He wasn't as blueblooded as 95% of the foals they breed, but he's still a rare article.

Also, the 69th Galileo offspring to sell for over 1 million.

The irony that Godolphin bought him…

‘If he’s good, he could look cheap’ – blue-blooded Justify colt brings €1,000,000 at Arqana

https://www.racingpost.com/bloodstock/s ... AH0C0CsR3/

The colt is out of a full sister to G1Ws Churchill and Clemmie and was purchased for only $135,000 at KEESEP. Nice pinhook.

Its weird though right? Coolmore bred him, I'm assuming sold him as a yearling and then tried to buy him back.

It is. It’s like the Galileo that was sold last month (see earlier In this thread). I get that Coolmore has a lot of horses and needs to sell some, but they seem to be making bad choices as to which horses (or at least having second thoughts).

Yeah. I thought it was strange they sold one of the few Galileo's they had left. I suppose when the Justify colt sold at Keeneland last year, Justify only had 2 G1 winners(Arabian Lion and Aspen Grove). He really became hot after the sale when the four 2yos won G1s.

Another pinhooking home run: this Justify colt sold for only $150K at KEEPSEP.

Kind of shocking they didn't take 5m for her. She is soon to be 13 and hasn't produced anything of note but Goliath. I guess they probably really didn't want to sell her.
