Harpo Marx is SW343 for Galileo winning Saturday’s Gr3 Premier’s Cup (2000m) at Kembla Grange.
Fourth into the home straight, Harpo Marx found plenty under Rachel King and struck the front inside the final 100m to defeat fellow import Spirit Ridge (Nathaniel) by a short-neck with Inverloch (Fastnet Rock) three-quarters of a length away third.
Harpo Marx sold as a tried horse for 60,000gns to Darby Racing and De Burgh Equine at the Tattersalls Autumn HIT Sale in 2019.
He is a brother to this year’s English Listed winner Forbearance, their dam Nechita (Fastnet Rock) winner of the Gr1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington at three.
Galileo has enjoyed good success with daughters of Fastnet Rock.
From 18 runners there are eight stakes horses, five stakes winners including Gr2 winners High Definition and Innisfree and Royal Ascot winner Russian Emperor.
