The "Nation's Pride" pony gave the Godolphin World Team the title of the "Sratoga Darby" race for first-class horses, which took place at dawn yesterday for a distance of 1900 meters grass on the American "Sratoga" track.

The race also witnessed the skilled “Mataria”, owned by “Godolphin”, under the supervision of coach Brad Cox, taking third place in the opening race “Longines Test Stakes”, which was allocated to fillies and mares of the first category for a distance of 1,400 sandy metres.

Three-year-old "Nation's Pride", under the supervision of coach Charlie Appleby, added the third victory in his career, and his first in the world's highest-ranked Group1 races.

Godolphin coach Charlie Appleby commented on the victory of "Nation's Pride" in the "Sratoga Darby", saying in a press statement: "We were confident that (Nation's Pride) would be able to make up for its runner-up in its last participation last month in the American Belmont Derby, The team did a great job in preparing the pony over the past period for its (Sratoga Darby) merit, and (Nation’s Pride) showed a physical development in training, which helped him in the (Sratoga) race to speed up his steps after the slow exit from the gate.”

He added: "The jockey Buick led him wonderfully, and headed him towards the inner fence, in a move that allowed the pony to grab the lead early, and the ability to maintain it to the finish line, and the result is great for the working team here in America."

“Mataria” for “Godolphin” came in third place in the opening game “Longines Test Stakes”.
