Godolphin’s son of Jade Robbery is now two-for-two since a productive winter in Dubai as Kirklees landed the SkyBet York Stakes (G2) over an extended ten furlongs. Tracking pacesetting Tazeez, Kirklees made short work of the field, easing out in the stretch and drawing clear to win by more than a length as the even-money [...]

Two Step Salsa (pictured below) is officially being aimed at the Tom Fool at Belmont on July 5, traversing seven furlongs. News wasn’t so hot for Gayego, winner of the 2009 Mahab Al Shimaal (G3) [...]
The public voices of Godolphin Stable, racing manager Simon Crisford and trainer Saeed bin Suroor, are often quite conservative and to the lay observer, empty. Most journalists who fail to follow the daily dialogue coming from these two soft-spoken men could easily believe they heard nothing informative. For our mutual benefit, I do not consider [...]
