Godolphin have bought out trainer David Elsworth's share in Swiss Storm (GB) (Frankel {GB}) reports the Racing Post. The colt was well touted before his juvenile debut last September but he never threatened the principals in a maiden at Haydock. He derived considerable benefit from that experience and stepped up markedly to break his maiden two weeks later at Newbury, where he beat subsequent winner City Of Joy (GB) (Elusive City) in impressive fashion. The win prompted Elsworth to comment, “He´s got a beautiful temperament and a lot of speed, we can dream on at the moment.” Godolphin join breeders Lordship Stud as owners of the colt who has been earmarked as a potential Classic contender this year. Commenting on the purchase Godolphin's media manager Jim Clarke said, “I can confirm that Godolphin have bought a half-share in Swiss Storm and he is to stay in training with David Elsworth. He's a promising colt and I believe the plan is for him to carry the Godolphin blue next season.”
