If Frankel is considered the best colt sire by Galileo up to present day, then Igugu has to be considered the best filly that Galileo has sired to present day, IMO. It's no mean feat for any horse, male or female, to win both the G1 Durban July and the G1 J&B Met the way she has. They're both really tough races that always draw the best of the best in South Africa and beyond!! Igugu is just simply an incredibly talented filly that reeks of class!!

All I can say is "AD ~ Ur a f..... SUPER STAR!" Nobody else would've won THAT race, with basically half a horse (and Igugu is just half a inch short of "GREATEST filly EVER if 100% fit!) With half the prep, a cut, flu, interference, a bump, boxed in and EVERYTHING that can go wrong hitting you straight in the face! You kept cool and YOU & IGUGU were BRILLIANT!!!!!! Just a pity MDK thanked the whole world but didn't even mentioned AD's name!!!!! BRILLIANT my brother!!!!!!
