Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin Racing won with all three of its starters on Wednesday's Saratoga card. All three had a different rider.
In the first race, Astronomia ($16) won a $69,000 allowance race with John Velazquez in the irons. In the third, Council Member ($5.50) won a $78,000 allowance race under Ramon Dominguez. In the sixth, Palace Episode ($15.20) won a $72,000 allowance race with Jean-Luc Samyn up.
Rick Mettee, who oversees Godolphin's 15-horse stable here, said winning three races on a day at Saratoga means a bit more than doing it elsewhere.
"It does," he said. "We haven't had that big horse yet this meet, with Discreet Cat still not back. With a 15-horse barn to win three in Saratoga in three allowance races like that, and with the trips they all pulled, it is special, yes."
Godolphin was also successful overseas on Wednesday, as Echo of Light, who finished last in last year's Breeders' Cup Mile, won the Group 3 Prix Gontaut-Biron at Deauville.
