Bet on Breeders Cup this year and you are likely to be wagering on at least a few horses from the Godolphin stable. Godolphin Racing is the main stable for Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum and his wife Princess Haya of Jordan. Last year the Sheikh won three wager on Breeders Cup races and this year it could be even better for those making a Breeders Cup bet as the stable could have 15 horses in the Breeders Cup. Wager on Breeders Cup stats would have the 15 horses setting a record. Susan Magnier had 11 starters last year which was the most for a single owner in Wager on Breeders Cup history. Godolphin’s previous high for horses was eight in the 2001 Breeders Cup. They won two of those races for those that made a Breeders Cup bet.
This year in wager on Breeders Cup there are six races where GoDolphin is going to have multiple starters. Grade 2 winners Girolamo and Regal Ransom are set to go in the $5 million dollar Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday, November 7th. Regal Ransom breezed five furlongs on Monday as he gets ready for wager on Breeders Cup. He will be ridden by Richard Migliore who was aboard for the win in the Super Derby. “He’s a pretty good work horse in general, so you kind of expect him to work well,” said Rick Mettee, Godolphin assistant trainer. Both Regal Ransom and Girolamo were pre-entered in both the Classic and the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile. Godolphin also has Pyro and Midshipman for the Dirt Mile.
Wager on Breeders Cup has Godolphin with Cocoa Beach and Music Note in the Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic. They will have Sara Louise and Seventh Street in the Filly and Mare Sprint.
