Six Win Day for Appleby, Godolphin

Godolphin trainer Charlie Appleby saddled the winners of six races–all juveniles–in England Monday, taking five races at Kempton and one at Leicester. The feat equaled the Godolphin record of wins in a day. In 2009, trainer Saeed bin Suroor twice won six races in a day for the operation. 

    “It has been a good, productive day,” Appleby said. “All the winners are 2-year-olds and have their futures ahead of them. I was hopeful of decent performances today from a strong team of horses and it is great that six got the job done. We will savor today and then get on with the job of producing more winners.” 
   
    The win streak was started with Game Show (GB) (Dubawi {Ire})’s victory in the first race at Kempton and was followed by Kempton winners Strong Chemistry (Oasis Dream {GB}), Mulzamm (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}), Forest Maiden (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and Comedy Queen (Distorted Humor). Charming Thought (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) won at Leicester. 
  
    “I hope Strong Chemistry, Forest Maiden and Charming Thought have bright futures,” Appleby said. “I like Strong Chemistry and was happy with his second first time up and he triumphed impressively in a good time today. I have thought a lot of Forest Maiden for a long time and hope she will make natural progression, while Charming Thought is going forward the right way.”
