What we do know is that Galipi is bred to be quick. The sire Galiway was a sharp, speedy type, and the dam comes from the Pivotal line — a stallion whose offspring have a long record of precocious talent and speed over shorter distances. On paper, at least, this looks like a horse built to hit the ground running from an early age.
Charles Hills trains out of Lambourn in Berkshire, one of the most respected racing villages in the country, and his yard has already sent out 29 winners this season — a figure that tells you this is a stable in good form, not just making up the numbers. When a yard like that puts a first-time runner on the track, it's worth paying attention. They don't run horses before they're ready.
