Galileo's Aikhal Surges To International Success

Galileo's Aikhal (Ire) (Galileeo–Diamond Fields) won the G3 ARM Holding International S. on the Irish Derby undercard.

He was ridden further clear in the closing stages to easily dismiss G.3 Eyrefield S winner and G 1 Irish 2000 Guineas fifth Duke de Sessa (Fr) by 4 1/4 lengths. Aikkal's foals are produced by G2 Gladness S victrix Diamond Fields (Aus) and a half-sister to G4 Investec Oaks winner Latrobe (Ireland)
