Godolphin silks to appear for first time in Japan

From Saturday, 17 March 2018, all horses currently racing in the JRA in the name of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, will race in the name of Godolphin. The racing silks carried in Japan will change to royal blue with a lighter blue band on the sleeve. 

Godolphin has evolved over the past 30-plus years into the world’s foremost international horseracing stable and breeding operation and their horses have won many of the world's most famous races.

There will be no change in the ownership of horses racing on the NAR circuit. 

As with all of Sheikh Mohammed’s stallions around the world, Darley will remain as the brand under which they are promoted and through which nominations will be purchased.

Harry Sweeney, President of Godolphin in Japan said, “We are excited in Japan to become part of the Godolphin family in 2018. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed has an enormous respect for Japanese racing and we look forward to seeing the blue silks competing in Japan”.
