Cartier Champion Two-year-old Colt (2014)

Gleneagles (foaled 12 January 2012) is an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse. After finishing fourth on his debut, he finished first in his remaining five races as a two-year-old in 2014 and was named Cartier Champion Two-year-old Colt. He won the Tyros Stakes, Futurity Stakes and National Stakes in Ireland before being disqualified after crossing the line in first place in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere in France. On his three-year-old debut he won the 2000 Guineas and followed up in the Irish 2000 Guineas three weeks later. In June he added a win in the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Gleneagles is a bay colt with a white blaze and four white socks bred in Ireland by the You'resothrilling Syndicate. He was sired by Galileo, who won the Derby, Irish Derby and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes in 2001. Galileo is now one of the world's leading stallions and has been champion sire of Great Britain and Ireland five times. His other progeny include Cape Blanco, Frankel, Golden Lilac, Nathaniel, New Approach, Rip Van Winkle and Ruler of the World. Gleneagles' dam You'resothrilling, a daughter of Storm Cat was a sister of the leading racehorse and stallion Giant's Causeway. You'resothrilling was trained by Aidan O'Brien and won the Cherry Hinton Stakes in 2007. Gleneagles is her second foal, the first being the Irish 1000 Guineas winner Marvellous.
