Godolphin

When was the last time Godolphin went a Royal Ascot meet without a graded stakes win? They are the most successful owner in recent memory, with 16 winners in the last 10 years... last year they won the Queen Anne, the year before they won the Gold Cup, etc. They have a chance with Sharestan and Tawhid tomorrow though I guess!

AtTheRaces.com is currently reporting on the front page of their web-site that Simon Crisford will leave his long standing roll as racing manager for Godolphin and take up a new position as global racing advisor for Godolphin & Darley Stud owner Sheikh Mohammed. I'm not really sure what the duties of a "global racing advisor" actually are, but I'll bet the move entails a substantial pay increase for Crisford.

Northport · Maybe he will manage the Sheikh Mohammed owned horses that don't race under the Godolphin colours? He has a pretty outstanding string in Australia and a smaller stable in Japan · 1848 days ago

11 Godolphin horses under the care of Mahmood Al Zarooni at Moulton Paddocks have tested positive for anabolic steroids, including Certify, who will thus be missing the 1000 Guineas.

Buckpasser · Problem with drugs in any sport, the testing has to be several steps ahead of the possible drugs that can be used. A very hard situation. · 2155 days ago

Godolphin

I very recently read an article on-line where it said that Godolphin have Cavalryman, Opinion Poll, Lost in the Moment, and Colour Vision all 4 currently holding entries into the 2012 G1 Melbourne Cup field. Godolphin's racing manager, Simon Crisford, said that the plan is to have 2 of the 4 that are entered at Flemington in November. The last 4 Godolphin horses that have run in the Melbourne Cup, Campanologist and Holberg in 2010 and Modun and Lost in the Moment in 2011 were all horses trained by Saeed Bin Suroor. Should the stable decide to go with only Saeed Bin Suroor trained horses again in 2012, that narrows it down to being the 2 going to Flemington being between Cavalryman, Colour Vision, and Lost In The Moment, since Opinion Poll is trained by Mahmood Al Zarooni. Given how well he's progressed into one of Europe's top stayers this season, I feel pretty certain that Colour Vision will be in the field. Lost in the Moment ran a very creditable 6th in the 2011 Melbourne Cup and may get another opportunity based on that fact? But sentimentally, I'd love to see old Cavalryman get a crack at a G1 2 mile race like the Melbourne Cup. He's never going the be the same horse again that he once was with Andre Fabre in France back in 2009. But Cavalryman's form in 2012 has definitely taken an upward progression and he's been in the best form he's ever been since he came to Godolphin from Andre Fabre's stable in 2010. TJMO.

northport · their website is also really interactive, it has a profile for every of their g1 winners as well as horses in training, and also posts photo galleries every day for their day to day farm operations and workouts · 2396 days ago
ILuvTurfRacing · @northport, I go on Godolphin's web-site quite often, and you're right. It's really informative. Personally, if the stable really want to win a Melbourne Cup, I say why dick around? Send both Colour Vision and Opinion Poll. They're both proven to stay all the way up to 2-1/2 miles, and they're both 2 of the best proven stayers in Europe. One of them ran 3rd in the 2011 Ascot Gold Cup and won the 2012 Ascot Gold Cup. The other was 2nd in both of those Gold Cups. Horses good enough to run that well over 2-1/2 miles at Ascot are both certainly capable of winning over 2 miles at Flemington, IMO. · 2396 days ago

Godolphin have once again flexed their mighty checkbook in preparation for the 2012 Dubai Racing Carnival. Last year, the stable purchased Arlington Million winner Debussy, and multiple American graded stakes winner, Etched, to take to take to Dubai. They also brought over Simon De Montfort and Prince Bishop from their Godolphin SNC yard in France, which is essentially taking them out of Andre Fabre's yard. This year, Godolphin has already taken Time Prisoner, Songcraft, and Rostrum from Andre Fabre in France and sent them over. And the list of horses they've purchased for the Carnival is staggering. They've bought Alkimos, Start Right, and Maqshabban from the Luca Cumani yard. They bought Red Gulch from the Ed Walker yard. Do It All from Eoin Hartey's yard here in America. They bought Measuring Time from Woodcote Stud, and a really progressive horse named Club Oceanic from Sir Robert Ogden. But their most expensive purchase came just a couple of days ago when they purchased the race-mare, Meeznah, from out of the David Lanigan yard. Meeznah ran a disappointing race in the BC Marathon this year. Pulled up as if there might have been an injury? But none was ever found? She's been off the track now since the BC Marathon, and Godolphin racing manager, Simon Crispon, said that Meeznah will go to Dubai for Godolphin. He said she's being pointed at the newly added G3 Dubai Gold Cup for stayers on world cup night along with Opinion Poll. Crispon said what raced Meeznah might show up in at the carnival prior to world cup night is still undecided.

ILuvTurfRacing · I forgot to mention that the horse Nationalism out of John Gosden's yard was also a Godolphin purchase to send to Dubai. He already has 1 run for Godolphin at Meydan in the carnival and finished 5th. · 2616 days ago
