The horse Notable Speach gives Godolphin the tenth title in the British “Looking Stakes”.

The horse, Notable Speach, gave the Godolphin International Team its historic tenth victory in the Looking Stakes race, designated for purebred hybrid horses of the first category, “Group 1,” for a distance of 1,600 meters on grass, which was held today, Saturday, at the ancient British Newbury Racecourse.

“Notable Speach” strengthened Godolphin’s record as the owner with the most wins in the “Looking Stakes” title, the race whose first edition was launched in 1958, after the “Blue Logo” horses had previously won the title in 1998 via “Cape Cross,” and 1999 and 2000 with “Fly to the Star” and “Al Jabr,” then “Kretchchador” in 2008, and “Farah” in 2008. 2013, and the years 2015, 2016, and 2017 with “Knight of Thunder,” “Bilardo,” and “Ripchester,” all the way to the 2023 edition via “Modern Games.”

“Notable Speech,” under the supervision of trainer Charlie Appleby, added his fifth victory in the highest-ranked “Group 1” races in the world, continuing his distinguished career as a five-year-old horse, after combining the most prominent European and American titles, including his classic victory in the English “2000 Guineas” race in 2024, then his crowning of the American “Breders’ Cup Mile” title in 2025.

Jockey William Buick showed great experience in driving “Notable Speech,” after he maintained the horse’s abilities during the early stages of the race, and kept him close to the horses in front, before unleashing him in the final meters to seize the lead and clinch the title.

“Notable Speach” crossed the finish line in first place with a time of one minute, 36 seconds and 27 hundredths of a second, ahead of the second-placed horse More Thunder, owned by the Emirati Saeed Suhail, by two lengths, under the supervision of trainer William Hagues and led by jockey Tom Marquand.

The Emirati horses continued their brilliance in the race, after third place went to the horse Zeus Olympus, owned by the heirs of Sheikh Mohammed bin Obaid Al Maktoum, under the supervision of trainer “KB Burke” and led by jockey Clifford Lee.
