If Frankel is the best colt that Galileo has sired up til now, then Igugu would have to be considered the best filly he's sired to date, IMO. It's no mean feat for a filly, or any horse for that matter, to win both the G1 Durban July and the G1 J&B Met as she's done. Those are 2 tough races that always draw the best of the best in South Africa.

It's a shame Igugu doesn't get to go to Dubai and run in the G1 Sheema Classic. I have no doubt this filly would likely run rough shod over the boys in at Meydan if she were to make the trip? JMO.
