Godolphin has joined the partnership that owns leading three-year-old colt Jack Hobbs trained by John Gosden.

John Ferguson, Bloodstock Advisor to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed, commented: "Jack Hobbs has run just three times and has shown remarkable progression. John Gosden, who also trained his sire Halling for us, has a high opinion of the colt. He has loads of scope and class and looks like the kind of horse that will only improve with age."

The deal was brokered by Blandford Bloodstock.

Blandford Bloodstock's Tom Goff said: "There has been a lot of interest in Jack Hobbs. The possibilities for him are the Derby, the King Edward VII Stakes and the Irish Derby. I believe he's got an exciting future."

Jack Hobbs will race in the colours of Godolphin and remain in training with John Gosden.
