Galileo was a dazzling Derby winner who went on to become a record-breaking stallion, so it is understandable why the public have chosen to induct him into the QIPCO British Champions Series Hall of Fame via a special annual public vote to mark Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee over the Derby Festival weekend at Epsom.

The vote this year, in 2022, focused on Derby winners, given the special year of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee. Galileo was up against two other superb Derby victors, Shergar and Sea The Stars, with his exploits both on and off the track no doubt helping tip the scales with voters.
