![]() It's offical...... Godolphin injure both horses AND humans.
I am currently lame after having the ligaments in my foot damaged when a Godolphin batsman smashed the ball at my foot from close range....... OUCH! At least it wasn't broken, which i had feared at the beginning.

![]() It was just the stable lads and a couple of chefs, they are all good lads, and most of them are very good cricketers. I tried asking one guy who is the 'yard supervisor' of the yard where the top horses are stabled how all the good horses were and what plans they had..... the only response i got was a look and a smile ![]()

![]() That's it Godolphin..... buy another good horse and rule him out of racing anymore this year. This is pathetic!
From racing post..... Laureate to join Godolphin by Andrew King POET LAUREATE, second to Irish Wells in the Grand Prix de Deauville on his most recent outing, was on Sunday confirmed as Godolphin's latest recruit. At the same time, the three-year-old was ruled out of this Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, for which he had been a general 33-1 chance. Godolphin's racing manager Simon Crisford said on Sunday: "Poet Laureate is at a pre-training yard, from where he'll be joining us to race next year. He won't run again this season." The colt raced four times for Andre Fabre in Sheikh Mohammed's colours, winning twice - including a Listed race at Deauville in August - and finishing runner-up on his other two outings. Crisford also confirmed that this year's Prix de Diane heroine West Wind will join Godolphin trainer Saeed Bin Suroor's string for 2008. He said: "West Wind hasn't joined up with us yet, but has been transferred to Godolphin and will run for us next year." Like Poet Laureate, West Wind has been racing in Sheikh Mohammed's silks, for trainer Alex Pantall. In addition to Poet Laureate and West Wind, Creachadoir, Laureldean Gale, Al Shemali, Accountforthegold and Gothenburg have all been recent additions for Godolphin. *************** Gothenburg has looked like a very good horse in his three starts this year. They better not ruin him!!!!

I just expected him to win today, so i didn't take much notice until i was flicking through the results. They have to be VERY disappointed with that. I haven't seen a race in France today (kept missing them) so i can't tell you anything about Echo Of Light. Ground may have been too soft for him, but that's just a guess.

![]() Forgot about Creachadoir....... he actually won, which i was very happy about. I didn't see the race though, only the result. I heard he was impressive, but i'm not sure how true that is.

![]() Just watched a replay of Echo's race. He had no excuses i'm afraid. He got to the front and looked like he would power clear, but as soon as Racinger challenged him, he folded tamely to finish about fifth or sixth.

![]() Wasn't sure where else to put this....
Prix Marcel Boussac result: 1st 2 Zarkava (IRE) 6-1 2nd 1 Conference Call 9-2 3rd 9 Mad About You (IRE) 11-2 A fantastic performance from the winner, she looks the real deal. She had plenty of ground to make up and got in all sorts of trouble under Soumillion, but once she saw daylight she flew home. She jumped the shadow on the winning post after crossing the line, and we all know another great racehorse that did that! Laureldean Gale finished almost last. Looks like the guy from Chapple Hyam's was right.

![]() Rio De La Plata provides the boys in blue with some consolation. He won almost as he liked just now.
He was 8/13 but could only win as he did. Does make New Approach look even better though ![]()
