SUNDAY

  • The Gurkha was an impressive winner the Group 1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains over a mile at Deauville, a second easy win from three starts for the son of Coolmore Stud's prolific champion sire Galileo (by Sadler's Wells). The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt was bred by the Chintz Syndicate, he is a full-brother to the pattern-placed filly Queen Nefertiti, and his dam, Chintz (by Danehill Dancer), is a Group 3 winner from the family of recent Group 1 stars Solemia (by Poliglote) and Silasol (by Monsun).
