Race Recaps Galilean Stretches Out Strongly in Soi Phet June 27, 2020 Credit: Benoit Photo Race Recaps Galilean Stretches Out Strongly in Soi Phet June 27, 2020 By: Curtis "Magic" Kalleward twitteremail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article CYPRESS, CA – Trainer John Sadler’s Galilean stretched back out to two turns with a strong effort to win Saturday’s $100,000 Soi Phet Stakes at Los Alamitos Race Course. ( Content Continues Below Ad ) Breaking from the far outside post 8 as the even-money favorite under Juan Hernandez, Galilean was forced to run wide into the clubhouse turn but soon settled in a close stalking position. Take the One O One set the pace while posting fractions of :23.00, :46.18, and 1:10.52, but Galilean made a three-wide move in the far turn and emerged onto the front stretch with a slim advantage. Kept to task the length of the long run, Galilean veered in midway home and changed back to his wrong lead at the 1/16 pole, but he still had too much power to be caught. He crossed 4 lengths the best in a final time of 1:35.49 for the mile-long trip over the fast dirt against fellow California-breds.

He was lugging in some, but I corrected him and he was very strong at the end.” Grinning Tiger fought hard to hold off Brandothebartender by a head for second. Loud Mouth, King Abner, Take the One O One, Lymebyrd, and Three Ay Em completed the order of finish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHaDdiz76FI Galilean’s win was his first since the 2019 California Cup Derby and improved his overall record to 9-4-1-3. The 4-year-old Uncle Mo colt has now earned $442,848 for co-owners West Point Thoroughbreds, Denise Barker, William Sandbrook, and Coolmore. “It was a good win,” said assistant trainer Alex Bisono. “I wish he had run a little bit straighter down the stretch, but he didn’t bother anybody because he was clear. He was comfortable the whole way. I definitely think he’s a better two-turn horse and he likes this track.” Galilean returned $4 to win, $3.40 to place, and $3 to show. Grinning Tiger brought back $8.20 to place and $5 to show, while Brandothebartender paid $4.60 to show.
