Galilean, the $600,000 topper at April's Barretts Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training off a :21 1/5 quarter-mile breeze, began to repay that investment with a hard-fought debut victory in Saturday's Barretts Juvenile S. Taking the bulk of tote attention, the bay was banged at the start, but quickly recovered to chase the pace through splits of :21.65 and :44.86. Clear in midstretch despite traveling on his wrong lead, the chalk cut it close late, but found the line a neck to the good of Seven Scents (Goldencents) in 1:15.28. A $60,000 Barretts Select yearling, Galilean was also a $35,000 KEENOV '15 in utero purchase. His dam is a half to MGSW His Race to Win (Stormy Atlantic), and hails from the same important Sam-Son family as Dance Smartly, Smart Strike, et al–as well as Saturday's Woodbine maiden breaker Malibu Dawn (Malibu Moon). The 44th stakes winner for his sire after Monkeys Uncle's impressive score in the Selima S. earlier in the day, Galilean has a foal half-brother by Harbor the Gold.
