Godolphin have so many superbly bred young horses in Australia, but right up there with the very best is a Dubawi colt from dual Group I winner/ Golden Eagle heroine Colette, and he opened his account at Cranbourne on Friday night.
Three year-old colt Hierarchy was third on debut at Mornington earlier this month and took benefit from that outing to start favourite in the 1400m maiden.
Trained by Anthony and Sam Freedman, Hierarchy was ridden by Ethan Brown and did his best work late to forge clear and win by a length and a half.
Hierarchy is the first foal for Colette,who won over $7million on the track earning her a trip to the UK for her first season at stud to visit Darley’s best stallion Dubawi.
Sadly for Godolphin, Colette had only one more foal before her premature death in 2024, a two year old colt by Exceed and Excel called Capstone that has also been sent to Anthony and Sam Freedman to train.
The family has had a resurgence of late as Colette is a half-sister to stakes-winner Metastasio, the dam of triple Group I winner Beiwacht, who runs in the Group I MVRC Manikato Stakes this Sunday.
