Top-class miler Toormore will carry the Godolphin colours for the remainder of his racing career after being sold by Middleham Park Racing.
The Arakan colt was champion juvenile for the successful ownership syndicate two years ago, clinching Group 1 glory in the National Stakes at the Curragh.
A comeback victory in the Craven Stakes aside, his Classic campaign was largely disappointing, but he has run two excellent races so far this season, filling the runner-up spot behind stable companion Night Of Thunder in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury before finishing fourth to French ace Solow in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The four-year-old colt will remain with champion trainer Richard Hannon at his Wilshire stables before being retired to stud.
Commenting on the deal, Middleham Park racing manager Tim Palin said his organisation were “hugely grateful” to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, and that it “is an honour and a privilege to be dealing with an operation like Godolphin and Darley.”
