Top 10 Godolphin horses ever!
 
Ive just come back from Dubai and had a great time, esp seeing Nad Al Sheba. Godolphin's Gallery is just littered with stars and it got me thinking. Could you make a list of Godolphin's top 10 horses. Not including horses still running and just from the Notable horses on Godolphin's website,
This would be my top 10 in no particular order (yet).

Swain
Sakhee
Lammtarra
Kayf Tara
Fantastic Light
Dubai Millennium
Daylami
Balanchine
Street Cry
Mark Of Esteem


Ive had to leave some very good horses out (Shamardal, Sulamani, Halling Grandera etc..), but thats my top 10. The more I look at it, the more I see that it is so so hard!!

Lucky you! Not to get off topic, but if you have a way and took pictures, would you post them somewhere we all can see them? Dubai is my fantasy vacation destination. :cool:

Anyone know if Papa is still in Dubai, singing Elvis Costello tunes to a camel?
That's a good list Brock~couldn't think of one off the top of my head
that's better than any of those...be interesting if you ranked them

How was it in Dubai, Kev?

I'll rank those 10 according to Timeform ratings...and will have a think before offering my own ranking...although I can tell you right away that DM will be top!

MARK OF ESTEEM 137
SAKHEE 136
DAYLAMI 135
FANTASTIC LIGHT 134
SWAIN 134

no,
last I heard Papa had gone to Jerusalem to wage war against all of Israel.
his new boyfriend is very committed to the fanatical muslim movement.
that guy is a total waste of space.


as for the topic at hand, nice list Brock.

my top 10, excluding 3 obvious horses that are currently running(DCat, Bernardini, Libbrettist)

Swain
Sakhee
Dubai Millennium
Street Cry
Fantatstic Light
Lammtarra
Doyen(terribly underrated, could run with anything on his day)
Electrocutionist
Daylami
Grandera(does not deserve this placing but I liked him so he makes the list)

yeah,
my list was not in order.
just typed as they came to me.

I think the only Godolphin horse that you could make a real argument for better than DMillennium would be Lammtarra. tought to argue against an undefeated horse.

Shamardal couldnt stretch and had probs, Grandera wasnt up to class.

A horse we didnt see its best from was Blues and Royals we can only speculate how good he could of been

Dubai Destination did not win the QE.
he won the Queen Anne. I think that was Hawk Wing's last race.

anyway, you just like him b/c you are big papa's homeboy.
