Paulele
Five-time Group winner and genuine G1 WFA sprinter.
Paulele won twice in town before Christmas, went on to become a Group-winning two-year-old, a multiple Group-winning three-year-old and placed behind Nature Strip and Eduardo in the G1 TJ Smith. He claimed his own G1 at four in the Winterbottom Stakes over 1,200m.
His first book included one Group winner and four Stakes winners, with nine Stakes horses from the crop, while Godolphin supported Paulele with nine mares, all nine confirmed in foal.
