Opposite coasts, same kind of recognition for Galilean and Jaxon Traveler, who both were singled out for championships in their birth states.

Galilean garnered the award for California-bred champion older male, on the strengths of three stakes wins (two on turf, one on dirt) during 2020. John Sadler trains Galilean, who is resting up for a 5-year-old campaign later this year.

Jaxon Traveler earned champion’s status among all Maryland-bred 2-year-old colts and geldings, with a perfect 3-for-3 season for trainer Steve Asmussen.

The fleet son of Munnings is based at Oaklawn Park this winter with an eye toward extending his win streak at 3.
