Galilean wins the Soi Phet Stakes at Los Alamitos Race Course.
Trainer John Sadler will send out defending champion Galilean in Sunday s featured $150,000 California Dreamin Stakes and has a three-horse contingent in the $80,000 Daisycutter Handicap earlier in the program at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif.
At the very least, Sadler s charges figure to factor strongly in both events as the 64-year-old Pasadena native seeks to add to his 78 Del Mar stakes victories, second on the track s all-time list behind Bob Baffert.
Galilean, a 5-year-old son of Uncle Mo owned by West Point Thoroughbreds and partners, moved between rivals to get a clear lead entering the stretch and held on for a half-length victory as the 3-2 favorite in last year s California Dreamin , a 1 1/16-mile turf assignment for California breds. It was the fourth start in a seven-race 2020 campaign that has netted earnings of $217,098.
