US youngster Etched joins Godolphin for DIRC


Etched, formerly with Darley, will now race in the Godolphin blue at the 2008 DIRC.

Unbeaten American juvenile Etched has joined Godolphin and will race at the 2008 Dubai International Racing Carnival.

The winner of the Grade 3 Nashua Stakes will be shipped to Dubai in early December to prepare for his three-year-old season.

Etched will be transferred from Darley and the UAE 2,000 Guineas and UAE Derby are likely to be on the agenda.

“Hopefully, he’ll do well in that festival over there,” trainer Kiaran McLaughlin told Daily Racing Form.

“He’s 2 for 2; we’ll hope for the best. He’s a difficult horse. Hopefully he keeps his head together.

“He’s not straightforward, that’s the big question. He’s just a little tricky to train.”
