He can be 3rd..... maybe 2nd.

GODOLPHIN TRAVELS TO TURKEY
07 September 2007

Godolphin will be double handed on their first trip to Turkey on Sunday, September 9. Caradak and Laverock fly the flag for the stable in two races on turf on the international card at Veliefendi racecourse, which is situated in the capital, Istanbul.

Both horses travelled to Istanbul this morning, Friday, September 7 and will be based at Veliefendi racecourse for the duration of their stay.

Caradak, winner of the 2006 G1 Prix De La Foret Casino Barriere De Biarritz at Longchamp will line up in the Topkapi Trophy run over eight furlongs, while Laverock will start in the twelve-furlong Bosphorus Cup. Jockey Kerrin McEvoy******* will be in the irons on both horses for Godolphin.

Turkey will become the fifteenth country in which Godolphin horses have competed in.

******* - Thanks God for that. Whew!

British raiders were unsuccessful in their trip to Turkey yesterday.

The best of them to run was Pressing who managed a fine second in the 12 furlong race (Laverock 3rd)

All the british horses in the mile race were unplaced.
