Godolphin not expecting to add to their Ascot tally
Along with the late Dick Hern, the Dubai-based outfit’s trainer Saeed bin Suroor has the joint-best record of all time in the ultra-prestigious event, with five previous successes.
Lammtarra (1995), Swain (1997-98), Daylami (1999) and Doyen (2004) have all landed the spoils in the past, but despite this year’s renewal being universally described as weak, Godolphin’s racing manager Simon Crisford is keen not to talk up their probable representative.
