The five best Charlie Appleby horses

It's fair to say that the phrase an "embarrassment of riches" could have been coined at the Moulton Paddocks stables of Charlie Appleby with the Godolphin Empire having access to top notch racehorses.

Yet, it takes the best to train the best and Appleby has won a succession of Group One races since being unveiled as Godolphin trainer in 2013, including the Epsom Derby on two occasions.

At three, Blue Point smashed the six furlong track record at Ascot, winning the 2017 Merriebelle Stable Pavilion Stakes in time of 1.11.05.

Blue Point was tidal-wave over his opponents and one of the greatest sprint talents of all time.

But Ghaiyyath's career was also a battle against adversity after suffering an injury in 2018, and running just once in a Prix du Prince d'Orange win at Longchamp.

But his five-year-old season stamped Ghaiyyath's class as he tore the twelve furlong record apart in the Coronation Cup held at Newmarket.
