LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- The top racing operation for Dubai ruler
Sheik Mohammed is looking for its first Kentucky Derby victory.
Godolphin Racing has won 146 Grade 1 victories in 12 countries
over the last 17 years, and the stable's stars are considered
heroes in the desert nation.
Godolphin hopes to fill the only hole left in its resume on
Saturday when Desert Party and Regal Ransom head to the post in the
Run for the Roses.
Sheik Mohammed is 0-for-5 in the Derby. The best effort by a
Godolphin horse is China Visit's sixth-place finish in 2000.
