This
Group II winner at Rosehill last Saturday highlighted a powerful nick between
two champion sires that may well be the best of them all.
When three year-old Fastnet Rock filly Unforgotten charged home from the back
of the field to beat the colts and win in the Group II ATC Phar Lap Stakes she
became the 16th stakes-winner for her champion sire bred from a
daughter of Galileo.
The stats for this direct cross are nothing short of phenomenal.
47 winners from 57 runners which is 82.5% winners to runners and 16
stakes-winners making for 28% stakes-winners to runners.
Of those 16 stakes-winners, six of them are Group I winners – Qualify,
Intricately, Rivet, Age of Fire, Zhukova and Magicool.
Interestingly at the upcoming 2018 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale there
are eight yearlings from daughters of Galileo, but none are sired by Fastnet
Rock with their breeders selecting other sires as their partners.
