Following a fourth place finish in the UAE 2000 Guineas (G3), Vineyard Haven was returned to America and prepared for a fall campaign. Godolphin’s son of Lido Palace returned with an incredibly impressive, albeit erratic, performance in the Kings Bishop Stakes (G1) at Saratoga, where he was first past the post but disqualified for interference with the second place finisher. Vineyard Haven has been installed as the 8-5 favorite in the De Francis Dash (G1) at Laurel Park in Maryland on Saturday.
