Godolphin collected six Group Ones during 2007, with the courageous Ramonti the star of the show.
Ramonti gave Godolphin a first Group One success of the year with a pulsating victory in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in which, having been headed by Jeremy, he drew on reserves to rally and snatch victory in the shadow of the winning post. Repelling his rivals with a determined surge for the winning line under a Frankie Dettori drive was one of the abiding images of the summer.
The duo did it again in the BGC Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in August, holding the challenge of Excellent Art by a head and the tough five-year-old completed a hat-trick of top British Group One mile races with another battling verdict over the same rival in Ascot's Queen Elizabeth II Stakes the following month.
Ramonti ended the season in great style by winning the Group One 10-furlong Hong Kong Cup at Sha Tin on December 9 and stable companion Creachadoir very nearly took the Group One Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Mile on the same day, being beaten by the slimmest of margins.
While Ramonti set the standard among the older generation with four wins and two seconds at the highest level, the Godolphin juveniles were not to be outdone as Rio De La Plata and Ibn Khaldun ranked among the best.
Rio De La Plata broke his maiden at the second attempt and then posted an impressive triumph in the Group Two Veuve Clicquot Vintage Stakes at Goodwood in August, drawing clear of Lizard Island for an impressive two-length win.
That victory bolstered Godolphin's British tally and the colt also gained plaudits in France when he scored decisively in the Group One Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp in October.
Ibn Khaldun's victory in the Group One Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster was the culmination of rapid improvement under the guidance of Saeed bin Suroor.
The Dubai Destination colt put behind him a maiden defeat at Yarmouth at the end of August and proceeded to leap from maiden success at Leicester on September 11 to capture an Ascot handicap on September 30 and the Group Three Autumn Stakes at the same venue two weeks later before clinching his authoritative Group One win under Kerrin McEvoy on October 27.
Godolphin horses collected a total of 12 British Group races in 2007, including four successes in the highest grade, and the pick of the remainder was Stage Gift's Group Two triumph in the Skybet York Stakes at York in July. Godolphin gained a seventh UK owners' championship with 73 wins during the 2007 season.
In addition to Rio De La Plata's win at Longchamp, Echo Of Light and Stage Gift also proved successful in France at Group level.
Godolphin's US operation continued to prosper with Grade Three victories for Songster and Utopia.
There were 30 Group and Listed successes among the total of 98 victories from 432 worldwide starts in 2007, giving Saeed bin Suroor, the Godolphin trainer, an excellent strike-rate of 23%.
