Toormore and William Buick were victorious in the bet365 Mile at Sandown, 22 April 2016.

The lovely Dutch Connection, ridden by Jim Crowley, was held off by a neck to finish second, Breton Rock and Jamie Spencer finished third, favoured Belardo and James Doyle fourth. Full result here.

Toormore made his first run in Godolphin’s colours a winning one when he, ridden by James Doyle (blue silks), landed the Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood as the race’s joint favourite, 28 July 2015.

Fellow joint favourite Dutch Connection and Jim Crowley (light purple silks) finished seond, fellow Godolphin runner Safety Check and William Buick (white cap) a head back in hird. Full result here.

GREAT to see Night Of Thunder win again. <3 Ridden by James Doyle (blue silks, right), joint-favourite and last year’s 2,000 Guineas winner (”fluke”, as people called it) won the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury today, 16 May 2015 - His first victory since the classic one year ago, but he has run some notable races since, including a runner-up finish behind Kingman in the 2014 James’s Palace Stakes at the Royal Ascot meeting and second behind French star  Charm Spirit in the 2014 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes also at Ascot.

Stable companion Toormore and Richard Hughes (light blue silks) came late to finish second by a neck, Arod and Andrea Atzeni (between Night Of Thunder and Integral) finished third, with the other joint-favourite Integral and Ryan Moore (red/white silks) a neck behind in fourth. Trade Storm and Tullius did not run. Full result here.

Congratulations to all connections! :-)
