Godolphin, also a proud supporter of Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, is profoundly invested in the aftercare of Thoroughbreds.

Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Success Stories: Rewarding Journey for Friend of Dubai

Friend of Dubai, a 2016 dark bay Thoroughbred gelding, had raced 21 times and earned $30,523 over his three-year career. Friend of Dubai had only two under-saddle rides off the track, so when Kimberly inquired about him Jennifer said that she was "uncertain about his potential.”
