Godolphin unveiled a new potential star in the shape of Ombudsman at Longchamp on Sunday, successful in the ten furlong Group 3 Prix du Prince d’Orange.

The John and Thady Gosden-trained colt came into the race unbeaten after three previous starts, including a Listed victory in the Prix Nureyev at Deauville in August. A son of Night Of Thunder, the colt had previously demonstrated his abilities with victories in novice company at both Leicester and Newmarket’s July Course.

Prominent owner Richard Pegum, a big investor in imported talent over many years, was rewarded with more black type success from one of his best overseas finds at the Gold Coast on Saturday.
