Galileo Son of Prudenzia Lights Up Deauville

Galileo colt out of Prudenzia | Arqana

The Galileo colt out of Ecurie des Monceaux's crown jewel Prudenzia (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) shot to the top of the leaderboard during Thursday's second session of the Deauville Select Yearling Sale when hammered down to MV Magnier for €2,000,000, with David Redvers the underbidder. Magnier is plenty familiar with the family, having bought the colt's full-sister, Group 1 winner Magic Wand (Ire), for €1.4-million to top this sale in 2016 and their Classic-winning three-quarter sister Chicquita (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) to join the Coolmore broodmare band for €6-million from Goffs November in 2013.

Monceaux has sold the current top colt and filly at the sale, with a Siyouni (Fr) filly out of Polygreen (Fr) (Green Tune) having been bought by Jean-Claude Rouget on behalf of America's Gainesway Farm for €700,000 just a few lots earlier.
