Horse Racing galileo euthanized @ 23

mentioned him many times over the years in pedigree discussions..one of the greatest stallions of all time along with his sire "sadlers well" and one generation back "northern dancer"..private fee was estimated to be between €250k and €600k ($300k-720k)

fittingly he passes on the day his trainer (aiden o'brien) ships to belmont and sweeps the belmont oaks and derby..the latter race was won by a son of galileo "bolshoi ballet"
