We were delighted to purchase this yearling colt by Pinatubo at the Goffs Premier Yearling Sale.

“This colt for me was a standout, he walked and talked class and had the pedigree to match that, Galileo as a broodmare sire needs no introduction and his sire Pinatubo will be the talk of town in the next few months. We weren’t leaving without this colt.”

His sire, Pinatubo, was a seven-time winner, earning nearly £1 million in prize money. Highlights of his career include winning all six of his starts as a two-year-old, including the Group 1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes and the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes. As a three-year-old, he finished in the top three in all his starts, including a victory in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat. 

Pinatubo’s progeny are now hitting a purple patch. His leading colt, Wolf Of Badenoch, finished second in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes and shares the same cross as our yearling, with his dam also being by Galileo.

His dam, Brandybend, won on her second start as a three-year-old and was highly rated, achieving a peak rating of 99 following two Listed placings. She is by the mighty Galileo and out of the Classic-winning mare Elusive Wave. Of her three foals that have raced, the best progeny so far is Barrel Aged, a two-time winner this year.
