WITH the first two phases of the course complete, the 2018-2020 Godolphin Flying Start trainees are off to a fast-paced start in America. Calling Lexington home until July, trainees have become well-adjusted to our new bluegrass lifestyle. The first six weeks of our time here has been filled with a variety of experiences which have immersed trainees in the culture of thoroughbred racing in the United States.

Sometimes referred to as the horse capital of the world, Kentucky is a melting pot of history, world class horses and southern hospitality. We have been welcomed with open arms by everyone we have met and have thoroughly enjoyed all visits and tours thus far. Visits to The Jockey Club, Keeneland, and Fasig Tipton provided trainees with the opportunity to develop knowledge in a variety of areas including the registration process for thoroughbreds and sales structure within the American Industry.
