Galileo's Telescope a New Rising Star At Newmarket

TDN MAGAZINE, The International Difference: Part III of A Painful Truth: "Welfare in Europe means to train the horse without any chemicals and make him race if he can face the challenge,” says France Galop's Dr. Roland Devolz. “In your country, welfare means to be allowed to use as many drugs as possible to ensure the horse will support training and race." Whose version is right? Part 3 of A Painful Truth examines North America's singular stance on medication. Download part three by clicking here.

   Telescope was beaten only a short head by Snow King (Elusive Quality) despite the rider losing his whip in a seven-furlong maiden at Ascot on debut Sept. 8 and traded at 8-13 here with experience in that hot-looking race under his belt. Keen early while racing in second as Space Ship (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) led at a moderate pace, the bay moved smoothly to the lead with a quarter mile remaining and only needed to be shaken up to assert his superiority and score by 2 1/4 lengths from Elkaayed (Distorted Humor). "He's a big, scopey horse and he has a lot of natural ability," trainer Sir Michael Stoute commented. "He is very much on the leg at the moment and has a big frame to fill. He may run once more [this year], but I wouldn't commit--we'll see how he comes out of this." Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, £6,068.
