From racing post.....

Laureate to join Godolphin


by Andrew King


POET LAUREATE, second to Irish Wells in the Grand Prix de Deauville on his most recent outing, was on Sunday confirmed as Godolphin's latest recruit.

At the same time, the three-year-old was ruled out of this Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, for which he had been a general 33-1 chance.

Godolphin's racing manager Simon Crisford said on Sunday: "Poet Laureate is at a pre-training yard, from where he'll be joining us to race next year. He won't run again this season."

The colt raced four times for Andre Fabre in Sheikh Mohammed's colours, winning twice - including a Listed race at Deauville in August - and finishing runner-up on his other two outings.
Crisford also confirmed that this year's Prix de Diane heroine West Wind will join Godolphin trainer Saeed Bin Suroor's string for 2008.

He said: "West Wind hasn't joined up with us yet, but has been transferred to Godolphin and will run for us next year."

Like Poet Laureate, West Wind has been racing in Sheikh Mohammed's silks, for trainer Alex Pantall.

In addition to Poet Laureate and West Wind, Creachadoir, Laureldean Gale, Al Shemali, Accountforthegold and Gothenburg have all been recent additions for Godolphin.

Gothenburg has looked like a very good horse in his three starts this year. They better not ruin him!!!!
