Galilean Looking To Add Cary Grant Stakes To Growing Résumé

West Point Thoroughbreds, Denis Barker and William Sandbrook's Galilean will attempt to win the seventh stakes race of his brief career Sunday when he takes on nine rivals in the seventh running of the Cary Grant Stakes at Del Mar near San Diego, Calif.

The seven-furlong dash for 3-year-olds and up bred in California carries a purse of $100,000 and is part of the year-long Golden State Series that provides approximately $4.6 million in purses to Cal breds at racetracks throughout the state.

Galilean is a son of the prolific Kentucky sire Uncle Mo out of the El Prado mare Fresia who was foaled in the Golden State. He was a $60,000 yearling purchase initially, but he became much more than that when he was offered for sale at the Barretts Spring Sale of 2-year-olds in 2018. He was far and away the sales topper at that event as he was hammered home at $600,000 at the behest of West Point Thoroughbred's Terry Finley.

The bay colt was trained by Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer for his 2- and 3-year-old seasons and captured the Barretts Juvenile Stakes at Los Alamitos in the first start of his career. He went on to win two more stakes and place in two others for Hollendorfer before going on the shelf, then being moved to the barn of conditioner John Sadler for his 4-year-old season where he's managed to win a trio of Cal-bred stakes. His current record stands at 12 starts, six wins and $577,098 in purses.

Galilean will be ridden by Umberto Rispoli Sunday under top weight of 124 pounds and has been pegged as the 5/2 favorite in the Cary Grant lineup.

Here's the full field for the feature in post position order with riders and morning line odds:

Newfield Farm or Martin's Appreciated (Tiago Pereira, 20-1); Alfred Pais' Brickyard Ride (Alexis Centeno, 6-1); Jay Em Ess Stable's Take the One O One (Jose Valdivia, Jr., 3-1); Barnhart, Foxx or Naify, et al's Surfing Star (Jessica Pyfer, 12-1); William Peeples' Oliver (Juan Hernandez, 20-1); Slam Dunk Racing or Nentwig's El Tigre Terrible (Flavien Prat, 7/2); Oetman or Pagano's Bettor Trip Nic (Drayden Van Dyke, 15-1); Galilean; Thomsen Racing's Loud Mouth (Abel Cedillo, 12-1), and Reddam Racing's Rookie Mistake (Mario Gutierrez, 8-1).

El Tigre Terrible, a 3-year-old by Smiling Tiger, has won four of nine starts including a pair of stakes tallies, most recently at Del Mar this past summer in the Real Good Deal run under similar conditions as the Cary Grant. Peter Miller trains the bay gelding.

Take the One O One shortens up after a series of two-turn races. The 5-year-old by Acclamation didn't race at all in 2019, but is a double winner this year. The Brian Koriner-trained horse has a bankroll that reads $447,326.

Rookie Mistake has been stakes-placed on four different occasions. The Square Eddie colt is trained by Doug O'Neill.

Both Brickyard Ride and Surfing Star are being ridden by apprentices, an unusual occurrence in a stakes race where their apprentice allowances do not apply. In both cases it has to be seen as a tip of the cap to Centeno and Pyfer and their riding abilities.

First post Sunday for the nine-race card is 12:30. The Cary Grant is the eight race on the program and should go off around 4 p.m.

Likley Favorite Wildman Jack Back On Turf For Eddie D Stakes

A graded stakes winning turf sprinter who was most recently a close fourth in a Grade I sprint on dirt, trainer Doug O'Neill's Wildman Jack looks like the horse to beat among a field of seven 3-year-olds and up in Friday's Grade II, $200,000 Eddie D Stakes at Santa Anita. The Eddie D, to be run at 5 ½ furlongs on turf, will serve as the main event on a 10-race Autumn Meet opening day card.

A W.C. Racing homebred 4-year-old gelding by O'Neill's 2013 Santa Anita Derby winner Goldencents, Wildman Jack was last seen at Santa Anita winning the Grade III Daytona Stakes three starts back on May 23.

Fresh off the best race of his career, California-bred El Tigre Terrible returns to turf for trainer Peter Miller and retains the services of Flavien Prat, who comes off another meet-leading performance at Del Mar this summer.

Named in honor of the retired all time great Hall of Fame jockey Eddie Delahoussaye, the Eddie D was run as the Morvich Stakes prior to being renamed in 2012. Delahoussaye won the 1984 Morvich aboard the Eddie Gregson-trained Tsunami Slew.

WILDMAN JACK

Owner: W.C. Racing, Inc.

Trainer: Doug O'Neill

Head and head for the lead throughout, Wildman Jack, a 4-year-old Kentucky-bred gelding, had to settle for fourth money when beaten 1 ½ lengths going six furlongs in the Grade I Bing Crosby Stakes on Aug. 1. Following his win in the Daytona here in May, Wildman Jack was off as the 3-1 favorite in a Grade II turf sprint going 5 ½ furlongs at Keeneland, but trailed throughout, finishing last by 7 ¾ lengths. With his performance in the Crosby serving as notice he's back to his best, he should be tough to beat in Friday's Eddie D.

EL TIGRE TERRIBLE

Owner: Slam Dunk Racing & Michael Nentwig

Trainer: Peter Miller

Off as the even money favorite in the state-bred Real Good Deal Stakes going seven furlongs at Del Mar July 31, this 3-year-old gelding by Smiling Tiger rallied four-wide turning for and won going away by 4 ¾ lengths. Well beaten at 7-2 two starts back in the one mile turf Oceanside Stakes July 10, he was a close second in the Desert Code Stakes going 5 ½ furlongs on turf here June 6—which was his first start of 2020. A winner versus open company of the 2019 Speakeasy Stakes going five furlongs on turf here on Oct. 6, El Tigre Terrible, who was purchased for a bargain $18,000 out of the 2018 Barretts October Yearling Sale, has won four out of his eight starts and has banked $210,510.
