A stakes placed multiple middle-distance winner who also won last season’s Irish Cesarewitch over two miles, El Salvador is the latest son of super-sire Galileo (by Sadler’s Wells) to take up stallion duties. He is to begin his career at Shay Slevin’s Killack Stud in Co Wexford.

He is a full-brother to the 12-furlong stakes winner Galactic Star, is out of the Group 1 Coronation Stakes winner Balisada (by Kris), and his grandam Balnaha (by Lomond) is a full-sister to the Group 2 Child Stakes (now Falmouth Stakes) winner and Group 1 Coronation Stakes runner-up Inchmurrin. That filly became the dam of successful Group 1 sire Inchinor (by Ahonoora).
