GALIWAY X QUEEN PHILLIPA

We had hoped to send a horse to Adrian Keatley on the back of a fantastic year for the yard and we are thrilled we got this filly over the line.

By dual group one producer Galiway, she won't be on the track in the first couple of months of the season but she does look incredibly racy considering her pedigree. 

She has excellent confirmation and a real powerful walk with a strong hind leg, three key ingredients for Nick when he is shortlisting his fillies.

She has a considerable pedigree, with the dam being a full sister to group one Phoenix Stakes winner, Pedro The Great as well as a half sister to 2000 Guineas winner, Footstepsinthesand and Listed Distaff winner, Belle D'or.

The dam has already produced a blacktype animal over a mile and should we be able to replicate that, we will have a considerable broodmare prospect on our hands.

She will join Adrian Keatley who is based in Malton and has had an outstanding season with his 2yo's in 2024.

Symbol Of Strength won the group three Sirenia Stakes, Francisco's Piece won the Listed Prix La Fleche at Chantilly whilst Flying Finn gained some valuable black type in the listed Melisande at Longchamp, with the French angle very much in our mindset with this filly given she is by Galiway.
