Godolphin's Top 20 Racehorses 

FORESTDONS: I'm not sure if he was a true Godolphin horse? Either was a superbly bred horse but he was a little too lightly for my liking.

@@nightowl7459 He never wore the blue silks but was wintered in Dubai before returning to Newmarket for his classic season.

@@johnsonkevin1 That's correct, I've never seen him in blue silks, I think they were green? I know he only had the one race as a juvenile (won), I think it was the Washington Singer at Newbury for some youngish trainer who was shot before he was in the hands of Godolphin.

@@nightowl7459 yes, Alec Scott. He was owned by Sheihk Mo's nephew. He was under the Godolphin banner. A few in the early years did not run in the blue

Maybe in Europe... the best field ever assembled was the 1992 Cox Plate

@@bgardiner3354 Maybe in the US

Electric Light Lynne Trex63 lol... the Cox Plate is an Australian race...

rimmers a smeghead red dwarf of course you did ...

rimmers a smeghead red dwarf although that KG field was epic.

Phobs DSR he was by New Approach himself a Derby winner, there was plenty of encouragement for him getting the trip

John Cahill True, I agree to a certain extent as he was a New Approach who was best at 1m 2f and the Derby trip but one would assume the dam (where the stamina line should come through) probably carried more speed than stamina and what we had seen of the horse suggested he was a true miler.

Stamina line doesn’t always come from the dam Line at all ! Churchill by Galileo is out of a top class sprinter yet Galileo put stamina in to him to get a Mile easily , Gleneagles the very same

John Cahill I hear that. Churchill was a serious 6f horse at 2. Same could be said for the Filly Clemmie, also a Galileo. A strong line of both speed and stamina for these Galileo’s. I believe the Galileo’s are great sprinters at 2 as they come late and stay on strong so when they’ve filled out and matured at 3. The Mile (and further distances) are right up their street

YES!

Phobs DSR could have made a50 list, Night of thunders biggest win wasn’t in the Godolphin silks either

John Cahill again, I agree. I know Godolphin picked up Dawn Approach before he won the 2000 Guineas and when Night Of Thunder won the following year, he was in Saeed Manana colours. He couldn’t win again at 3 as Kingman had his measure after the win in the Guineas but he still managed a classy win at 4yr old in the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury. His consistency alone and level of performances puts him up there for me. A beast at 6f as a 2yr old and a damn good miler too.

@@phobsdsr4326 I thought they baught Dawn Approach after he had won the 2000 Guinness, it was actually Sheik Mohammed's wife who owned him.

Night Owl That is correct. He did win the Guineas beating a long shot and Van Der Neer whilst wearing the J Bolger colours.

@@phobsdsr4326 Nice one, I thought I might be wrong, thanks for confirming tha.👍

Fact well said 👍

100 percent. but fantastic light would have been up there, if not better

Don’t think he ran in Godolphin colours

At Least Change Frosted To African Story Or Prince Bishop
