Galileo Gold shines brightly for Frankie Dettori in Palace Stakes

Reaching significant milestones is fast becoming a habit for trainer Hugo Palmer this season and Galileo Gold delivered him another ground-breaking success with his first Royal Ascot winner in the St James’s Palace Stakes.

After gifting the Newmarket handler his first British Classic winner when taking the 2000 Guineas back in April, the son of Paco Boy once again produce the goods on the big occasion to land a second Group One win of the campaign and atone for his defeat in the Irish Guineas.

Although drawn out wide in stall seven, Frankie Dettori was quick to get the easy-to-back 6-1 chance over to the running rail and slot in behind the pacemaking Cymric as both his chief market rivals, French Guineas winner The Gurkha and his Curragh conqueror Awtaad, held positions near to the rear of the field.
