Congratulations to Godolophin Racing

Music Note Winning the G1 Ballerina Stakes

 

Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin Racing capped off one of its finest North American campaigns by winning the Eclipse Award for Champion Owner at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel Monday night.

Led by Flashing, Seventh Street, and Music Note (pictured at left winning the Ballerina Stakes at Saratoga) Godolphin notched nine Gr. 1 victories, including its fourth Breeders’ Cup win when Vale of York edged Lookin at Lucky in the Juvenile Stakes at Santa Anita. “It is a brilliant result for everyone at Godolphin to win such a major award in the US,” said Godolphin trainer Saeed bin Suroor.

During my whirlwind tour of the Melbourne Cup Carnival and the Breeders’ Cup, one of the most surprising developments I witnessed was that the world’s winningest stables was almost completely written off by the pundits and the betting public.

On the first Tuesday in November at Flemington in the Melbourne Cup, Crime Scene with 2000 Cup winner Kerrin McEvoy up went off at 40-1. As we all know, McEvoy’s runner took the lead 3 furlongs out and finished a strong second to Shocking.
