Schiaparelli's triumph in the Group Two Prix Kergorlay at Deauville last Sunday saw Godolphin reach a notable landmark of 500 Group/Grade and Listed race victories since the stable was established in 1994.

A host of champions have triumphed for Godolphin in Group/Grade and Listed races around the globe.

They have included Dubai Millennium, Swain, Daylami, Lammtarra, Balanchine, Halling, Sakhee, Fantastic Light, Kayf Tara, Street Cry, Shamardal, Ramonti and Music Note.

Balanchine started the ball rolling in the most fitting manner when securing an historic triumph in the Group One Oaks at Epsom on June 4, 1994.

Since that day, the royal blue silks have passed the post first in Listed and Group/Grade contests in 12 different countries.

Less than two weeks after Balanchine's Oaks victory, the juvenile filly Lovely Millie proceeded to clinch Godolphin's first Listed triumph in the Empress Stakes and also has the distinction of being

Godolphin's initial Group 3 winner courtesy of her success in the Solario Stakes at Sandown.

Zieten's Challenge Stakes win at Newmarket in October, 1994, was the first Group 2 success.

Godolphin has won 148 Group/Grade One races, 109 at Group/Grade Two level; 100 at Group/Grade Three and 143 Listed events.
