Aidan O'Brien trainee HALLOWED (Galileo {Ire}) is a son of six-time Grade I heroine Abel Tasman (Quality Road), who was knocked down for a sale-topping $5-million at Keeneland's 2019 January All-Aged sale. The April-foaled bay encounters a baker's dozen on debut, headed by twice-raced stablemate Greenfinch (Justify), who is kin to three-time Group 1 winners Roly Poly (War Front) and U S Navy Flag (War Front) out of four-time elite-level victrix Misty For Me (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Rivals also include Teme Valley Racing's hitherto untested Celestial Reighn (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}), who is a Joseph O'Brien-trained full-brother to G1 Gran Premio Del Jockey Club hero Ventura Storm (Ire).
