The saddest day but a life to celebrate. The General Stud Book has chronicled the exploits of Thoroughbred stallions for over 250 years. Galileo will forever stand amongst the greatest of them. Our condolences to all @coolmorestud and everyone involved with the legendary stallion

- He’s not bay, chesnut, brown or grey - tomorrow’s St Leger favourite Logician is roan - one of only 27 roan foals registered in Britain & Ireland in 2016 against a foal crop of circa 14.5k! In 2017 there were 12 roan foals registered and only 9 last year. So he’s a rare breed!
- Such exciting news for German breeding that the beautifully bred son of Galileo - Japan - is to retire to stud at Gestüt Etzean for next season. The dual Group 1 winner will make his final racecourse appearance in Sunday’s Japan Cup.
- Many thanks to @coolmorestud for some wonderful shots of Savethelastdance as a foal - you can see the stride from day one! We really hope that the hugely impressive winner of the Weatherbys.digital Solutions Cheshire Oaks goes on to have a very successful racing career.
- An updated pedigree for Kyprios but only room for the 1st Dam! Victory in the Gold Cup @Ascot makes him the 95th top level winner for Galileo. He was bred by @MoyglareStud out of their outstanding broodmare Polished Gem - so a brother to Search For A Song and a half to Free Eagle
- To add even more depth and detail to the @Betfred Derby picture the Weatherbys Bloodstock team have researched and edited the pedigrees of all 16 declared horses in the race. We have brought these together in a digital turn-page format which we hope you’ll enjoy 👉🏻

- Great to see @DarleyStallions Blue Point sinking his teeth into the 2020 Weatherbys Stallion Book! The Cartier Champion and four-time Group 1 winner is the front cover star of the number one global stallion guide - alongside his sire Shamardal.
- A virtual pedigree update for the virtual winner of the virtual Grand National! 😉
- No racecards to print .. so the team are doing their bit for local communities by helping in the supply of PPE for @NHSuk workers. Printing sewing patterns for volunteers in the Northants area to create scrubs for GPs & Hospitals. Thanks to @Antalis_UK who provided material FOC.
- Very sorry to hear of the passing of extraordinary @JuddmonteFarms broodmare Kind. The dam of Frankel, Noble Mission, Bullet Train and Joyeuse - one glimpse at her pedigree and we see what a legacy she leaves.

GIF - Delighted to present Robert O’Callaghan @YeomanstownStud with a framed print that celebrates Dark Angel’s feat of becoming Champion sire in 🇮🇪 & 🇬🇧 last year. Thanks to @ginageorge7 for doing the honours and it was great that Dark Angel himself was able to show his face!
- We’ll need to produce not one but three Weatherbys ‘Moving Pictures’ in order to do justice to Galileo’s achievements at stud. The first one is up and running with artwork, pedigree stats and progeny race video! @coolmorestud @BuckleyKevin
