Royal Ascot Group 1 St. James’s Palace Stakes win for September Yearling Sale Classic winner GALILEO GOLD

For the first time in 23 years, all three 2,000 Guineas winners went head to head and it was Al Shaqab’s GALILEO GOLD who produced a dazzling performance to win the feature contest, the Group 1 St. James’s Palace Stakes. Hugo Palmer’s Paco Boy colt, who claimed Classic success in the 2,000 Guineas in Newmarket in May, out-shone all other contenders, travelled beautifully throughout the race and added the Group 1 to his Classic credentials.

GALILEO GOLD was sold to Amanda Skiffington at the 2014 September Yearling Sale for €33,000 by Donnellys Well.

Inspections for Europe’s Most Progressive Yearling Sale, the September Yearling Sale, are now drawing to a close with demand for places at an all-time high which bodes well for another successful renewal of the sale in 2016.
