As a thoroughbred horse racing enthusiast in the United States it was thrilling to watch Colour Vision win the gold cup for Godolphin and especially the Sheikh. He has done so much for the sport and is so well respected and loved here in the USA, for all he does for horse racing and the people involved. I can’t wait for the day I can visit Dubai for March Carnival.
Congratulations to Godolphin
