GODOLPHIN HIT DOUBLE CENTURY.

Trainer Saeed bin Suroor sent out a Group One double at Meydan to take Godolphin's tally at the highest level to 201.
Hunter's Light provided the first leg of the brace, and the landmark 200th victory, as he claimed the Al Maktoum Challenge R3 at the Dubai track. The 10-furlong contest is an acknowledged trial for the World Cup and Monterosso won the race last year before going on to glory in the main event.
He was in the line-up once again, but was some way off the pace on his first start in 245 days. Breeders' Cup Turf winner Little Mike, having his first start since arriving from America, took it up turning for home but faded, and Silvestre de Sousa produced Hunter's Light with a perfectly timed run to win well.
