updated= November 23, 2006Galopin (1872-1899) was an British
Thoroughbred racehorse and a prominent sire.Galopin's sire, Vedette, had a very good racing career, winning the Great Yorkshire Stakes, the
Doncaster Cup (twice), and the 1857 2,000 Guineas Classic. He was, however, an excellent sire. Other than Galopin, clearly his most successful progeny, he produced only one other horse of note, Speculum, who won the Goodwood Cup, the Suburban Handicap, was third in the Derby, and was Britain's Champion Sire in 1878. Vedette also sired some good hunters.Galopin's damsire was the 1849 Epsom Derby winner The Flying Duchman.
At stud, Galopin was the Leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland in 1888, 1889 and 1898. He was the damsire of Bayardo and of the 1886 U.K. Triple Crown Champion, Flying Fox.
