Galileo - the story of the super-stallion - in the words of Aidan O'Brien and MV Magnier

With the sad news that Galileo has passed away, here's a reminder of how Galileo first joined the Coolmore stallion ranks and the influence he has exerted over racing. Will we see his like again in the breeding world?

A very sad loss to horse lovers everywhere but especially to the people who looked after Galileo 🙏

It feels as thought a great king has left us to become god. He was a legend.

I own a share in Galileo's grandson Man Among Men and I really hope he does him very proud!!!

I was thinking about this horse just the other day, thinking about what a hole there would be in the horse world when he goes, then I found out he actually is gone, RIP champ, the flat world won’t be the same without your amazing progeny

I've always thought that Sadlers Wells was the most conformationally pleasing stallion I'd ever laid eyes on, we were privileged to have his wonderful son, Galileo, RIP

Rip fella reunited with your sire and dam sadlers Wells, simply the greatest and urban sea... your sire started the legacy you carried it on now to be passed on to Frankel x

[davidg.s.hounslow]

Great story. Truly a remarkable horse, will be sadly missed. RIP Gallieo.

Listen to Bolger…. Couldn’t give Galileo away after first crop so slashed his cover fee….And then Bolger sent every mare he owned to Galileo….Then the champions started to flow….And has since become the Northern Dancer of the Irish breeding world….Lots of sons and daughters to carry the mantle……But big blow to Coolmore….
