A GOFFS graduate as a foal, Ghaiyyath’s first success in group-race company was when winning the Group 3 Godolphin Autumn Stakes at Newmarket as a juvenile. This was one of a pair of victories he had that year, both over a mile.

Off the course for a few days short of a year, he made a successful reappearance at three, running out a three-length winner of the 10-furlong Group 3 Prix du Prince d’Orange at ParisLongchamp. That late September outing proved to be his sole start in 2018 and there followed an almost 200-day break until early April 2019 when he again made a successful reappearance, this time in the Group 2 Prix d’Harcourt back at ParisLongchamp.
