MATING SUGGESTIONS: The saying that form is temporary, class is permanent applies very much to Australia in 2025. A champion son of two champion parents, Australia has always had a lot of class, as he reminded everyone when his son Lambourn emulated his sire Australia and grandsire Galileo in winning both the Derby and Irish Derby. Additional Gr.1 success came when Cercene landed the Coronation Stakes. Australia now has nearly 50 BTWs to his credit. A branch of the Northern Dancer line which has enjoyed repeated classic success with Galileo is the one represented by STORM CAT . Galileo had 16 BTWs from 72 foals out of daughters of STORM CAT (22%) and no fewer than 9 of them were Gr.1 winners (13%). Teofilo sired a Gr.1 winner from a daughter of GIANT’S CAUSEWAY . As Marvellous, Gleneagles and Joan of Arc are out of a sister to GIANT’S CAUSEWAY , this is an avenue well worth exploring. Sons of Galileo have two Gr.1 winners and two Gr.2 winners out of daughters of SHAMARDAL . From ten starters out of SCAT DADDY mares, Galileo sired the Irish Oaks winner Savethelastdance. Now Australia has sired Lambourn from only two foals out of SCAT DADDY mares, as well as the Gr.1-placed Gr.3 winner Wemightakedelongway from only three foals out of daughters of NO NAY NEVER . This suggests more daughters of NO NAY NEVER and that mares by CARAVAGGIO and SIOUX NATION could also inject speed and precocity into Australia’s progeny. AUSTRALIA is benefiting from mares with AHONOORA blood. He has made an impressive start with mares by ACCLAMATION , which create 5x4 to AHONOORA . From 21 foals he has sired the Gr.1-winning Cercene, the very smart brothers Broome and Point Lonsdale and Gr.3 winner Counterparty Risk. Three other sons of Galileo have Group winners from ACCLAMATION mares, with Gr.1 Prix Jacques le Marois winner Diego
