[edit]Blackberry Sorbet, nice work to begin improving this article. One point: Doesn't Godolphin racing also have a division in the USA besides Darley Stables? See this horse, the company. See also Darley ownership. Montanabw(talk) 19:11, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
- Godolphin's US division ostensibly closed in November 2011 but the runners were kept and were raced on behalf of Godolphin LLC by the Darley Stud trainers Tom Albertrani, Eoin Harty and Kiaran McLaughlin. BlackberrySorbet 20:13, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
- I know that two sets of silks are making their way around the tracks. Hmmm. But Sheikh Monhmmad also owns/controls Darley (in some corporate way), correct? I guess that's what see Also links are for, eh? Montanabw(talk) 04:18, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, Darley is owned by Sheikh Mohammed; when I say that the US division closed, I should clarify that I mean just Godolphin (USA) - Darley continues to operate successfully in the US. The runners previously belonging to Godolphin's US division are now managed by Darley and - to quote their corporate blurb - "the best of these horses [are transferred] to Godolphin to race in the famous blue silks."

- Wonder why they had two different stables in the first place. Montanabw(talk) 05:38, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
