HENRI Matisse found one too good for him in the Group 1 Goffs Vincent O’Brien Stakes, but a colt named after another famous painter, Jan Brueghel, has yet to be beaten, and he took his tally of victories to four this year when beating his stablemate, and fellow Galileo (Sadler’s Wells) colt, Illinois in the Group 1 St Leger at Doncaster.

Bred by David and Diane Nagle at their world famous Barronstown Stud in Co Wicklow, Jan Brueghel is Group 1 winner number 101 for Galileo who died in the year of the classic winner’s birth, 2021. He is the second classic winner for his dam, the Group 2-placed Devoted To You, and she is a daughter of Danehill Dancer (Danehill).
