Landmark century for Frankie Dettori
Nov 7th
If it’s Sunday it must be Rome. Having ridden in four different countries, on the three continents, in just nine days Frankie Dettori rolled into Rome looking just a shade tired having clocked up more flight miles than most airline pilots. But he still managed one of his flying dismounts. He had been rained on [...]

Kingsfort wins Ben Marshall Stakes
Oct 30th
Deep pockets and even deeper reserves of patience are a good idea for owners. Sheikh Mohammed is known for having the fiscal power but that has never made him immune the setbacks that come as part-and-parcel of racing. Having written a cheque with a fair amount zeros for Kingsfort, after he won last year’s Group [...]

Poet’s Voice is Godolphin’s Champion
Oct 16th
Money may not buy success, as Sheikh Mohammed has found out in over 30 years as one of the main players in world Flat racing, but it helps. When the penny finally dropped with Poet’s Voice, and he went from headstrong rebel to team player, Godolphin laid out £20,000 for a late entry to the [...]
Elas Diamond looks a cut above the rest at Nottingham
Oct 14th
Here’s a tip, you can still back Paul Hanagan at 1-7 to win the jockey’s championship. One bookmaker already paid out yesterday so 1-7 has got to be a pretty good price. Richard Hughes is just seven wins behind Hanagan, but has to serve a week’s ban starting from Saturday for careless riding, surely missing [...]
Dream Ahead for Dewhurst Stakes
Oct 9th
The Dubai Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket was already looking to be one of the races of the season but it may now be a vintage renewal. Henry Cecil had already committed Frankel, his unbeaten colt who won the Royal Lodge at Ascot by 10 lengths, and Godolphin will make a supplementary entry for their star [...]
Strong renewal for Queen Elizabeth II Stakes
Sep 20th
Frankie Dettori may well be long odds to replicate his “magnificent seven” winners from the 1996, but he goes into Saturday’s meeting at Ascot with renewed firepower. Godolphin, who celebrated its 1,000th British winner at Newmarket on Friday, have not had reason to cheer after a Group One race in the country since Mastery won [...]
Delegator returns with a stylish victory
Sep 17th

There were considerable fears pre-race about the Godolphin-trained colt’s fitness, as his much anticipated [...]
