We are extremely excited to announce that tickets are now on sale for our exclusive Dalham Hall Stud tour. Dalham Hall is the headquarters for the Darley global bloodstock operation and home of the Godolphin Stables, owned by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
This world-renowned stud farm is home to some of the true greats of the sport. Just a few of these include Dubawi, New Approach, Poet’s Voice and the mighty Golden Horn. Golden Horn was rated the best in the world on turf in 2015 and his illustrious career boasts Derby, Arc, Eclipse and Irish Champion wins, and in doing so, he claimed the third fastest Derby time ever.
