"The Thoroughbred exists because its selection has depended, not on experts, technicians, or zoologists, but on a piece of wood: the winning post of the Epsom Derby. If you base your criteria on anything else, you will get something else, not the Thoroughbred."

— Federico Tesio

11 years after Australia’s Derby triumph, his son Lambourn powers to victory in the 2025 Classic — a perfect example of the magic that happens when you blend the Galileo stamina with Scat Daddy speed. 🏆

A Coolmore homebred, Lambourn is the second foal out of Gossamer Wings — a fast and precocious daughter of Scat Daddy, who won over 5f at two and was placed in both the Queen Mary and Flying Childers Stakes.

The Galileo × Scat Daddy cross continues to produce horses with an ideal balance of toughness, class, and turn of foot — i can’t wait to see what the future holds for this exciting colt. ✨🐎💫

Thrilled for the stallion Australia — an Epsom Derby winner himself, by a Derby winner and out of an Oaks winner — now the sire of a Derby winner in Lambourn!

Huge congratulations to all his connections.

We were lucky enough to spend time with him on our visit to Coolmoore Stud — Australia pictured here surrounded by us all, showing his wonderful temperament. Honestly, we could have taken him home! 🏆🐎💫
