G3 Juvenile Quinella For Galileo
Friday, 25 July 2008:  | | Galileo | The Aidan O'Brien trained colt, who is from the Stravinsky mare Looking Back, came from the back of the field to take his record to two wins from two outings in winning the Leopardstown event.
He was actually beaten on debut by Tomas an Tsioda on debut, but was awarded the race in the stewards room.
In a great result for the Sadler's Wells stallion, Rip Van Winkle beat Galileo's previously unbeaten filly Cius Ghaire (ex Scribonia, by Danehill) in the event.
Rip Van Winkle is raced by Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith and cost 170,000 Euros as a yearling in 2007.
