 LIBERTARIAN (GB) - 2010 bay horse Dual Derby hero Galileo has done what seemed impossible during the career of his phenomenal sire Sadler's Wells (by Northern Dancer) – he has become an even greater sire of racehorses than was his father. His early stallion sons have showed plenty of potential, a growing number of them already have at least one top-level winner to their name, and New Approach is one of the most notable members of that list. The juvenile star became a Derby and Champion Stakes hero at three. His first crop included a trio of Royal Ascot-winning blacktype two-year-olds, and by the end of the following season that initial group of offspring featured the Group 1 2000 Guineas hero Dawn Approach, the Group 1 Oaks winner and Group 1 St Leger runner-up Talent, and the Group 1 Derby runner-up Libertarian. The latter, who won the Group 2 Dante Stakes and finished fourth (no blacktype) to Leading Light in the Group 1 St Leger, is now among the early Galileo grandsons at stud and the first foals of this Knockhouse Stud stallion, made up to €11,000. He is being marketed for the National Hunt sector. A half-brother to the Group 1-placed pattern scorer Prince Siegfried (by Royal Applause) and to the French listed race winner Bigzam (by Zamindar), Libertarian is out of Intrum Morshaan (by Darshaan), a winning half-sister to the US Grade 3 scorer Coney Kitty (by Lycius). His stakes-placed third dam, Midnight Child (by Manado), was a half-sister to the multiple listed-placed Never A Lady (by Pontifex) and that mare's descendants include the prolific Group 1 star and classic sire Halling (by Diesis). The Sadler's Wells sire line has had a tremendous impact on both the flat and National Hunt sectors and so it is a fair bet that Libertarian will eventually join its roll of honour as a sire of blacktype-winning hurdlers and chasers.
