Looking in superb condition with a highly dappled coat was the former champion racehorse and exciting young stallion Galileo.
Galileo was bred to be a star being by the champion sire Sadler's Wells and from the Group One Arc heroine Urban Sea.
And a star on the track he was indeed. He won his maiden by 14 lengths - the Epsom Derby by four lengths and he also won the Irish Derby.
He then trained on to win the time honoured King George beating the five time Group One winning champion Fantatic Light.
All up Galileo raced on eight occasions and registered six wins and a second placing in the Irish Champion Stakes, when beaten a head.

Already this year Galileo youngsters have sold up to a million dollars in Australia and averaged almost $150,000. Around half of his 61 Australian yearlings in 2005 made six figures.
As well as being a winner of the Arc at Longchamp in her own right, Galileo's dam Urban Sea is also the dam of stakes winners Black Sam Bellamy, Urban Ocean, Melikah and All Too Beautiful.
Urban Sea is also a half sister to the leading young international sire King's Best.

Galileo is a son of the incomparable Sadler's Wells. Sadler's is also the sire of champions including Montjeu, Carnegie, High Chaparral, Salsabil, In the Wings, Imagine, Milan and Islington.
Sadler's Wells is also the sire of the established sires including Fort Wood, Barathea, El Prado, Victory Dance and the ill fated Scenic.
The country's leading buyers are preparing to compete for members of Galileo's second crop at the 2006 Yearling Sales.
