Galileo Adds UK Gr3

Friday, 11th May 2007

Coolmore shuttler & Gr1 English Derby winner Galileo (Sadler's Wells-Urban Sea, by Miswaki) added a UK group winner & placing overnight when favoured colt Soldier Of Fortune (Galileo-Affianced, by Erin's Isle) scored by a short-head in the £65,000 (A$156,000) Gr3 Chester Vase (12.5 furlongs) for 3YOs at Chester. Soldier Of Fortune (ridden by Michael Kinane for trainer Aidan O'Brien) defeated Arabian Gulf (Sadler's Wells-Wince, by Selkirk) & Celestial Halo (Galileo-Pay The Bank, by High Top). Soldier Of Fortune had opened his 3Yo season with victory in France's Gr 2 Prix Noailles at Longchamp & last season finished runner-up in France's Gr1 Criterium De Saint-Cloud (2000m) in November.
