Welcome to GG Racing
Brian Meehan's 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes
runner-up Delegator has been snapped up to join Godolphin.
The son of Dansili found only Sea The Stars too strong in
May's Newmarket Classic and was just a neck behind
Mastercraftsman at Royal Ascot.
Godolphin's racing manager Simon Crisford said on
Godolphin's website: "Delegator is top class and we are very
excited to have acquired him.
"There are no plans at the moment but we will look forward to seeing him racing later in the season and next year as well."
Meehan told his website: "Delegator has been a marvellous horse for us and it has been a privilege to train him for Mrs Poilin Good.
"We wish Godolphin the very best of luck with him in the weeks and months ahead."

SOM TALA STORMS TO PLATE GLORY
Welsh racecourse debut sells out
Drill Sergeant and Record Breaker gave Mark Johnston a one-two in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The winner was always up with the pace as another Johnston runner, Road To Love, made the running with Martyr also prominent.
Joe Fanning kicked for home well over a furlong out and although Record Breaker came with a wet sail in the centre of the course, Drill Sergeant (14-1) got the verdict by a length and a quarter. Martyr was another length away third with Young Mick fourth.
There was drama shortly after the stalls opened when William Buick was unshipped from the well-fancied Hatton Flight.
Johnston said of the winner: "The loose horse in front of him gave him something to chase and that helped him along.
"I wrote to the handicapper imploring him not to put him up because he keeps running good races without winning and going up in the weights.
"It's great for the horse to get his just desserts."
Of the second, he said: "Arguably he was the best horse in the race, but he probably needs another two furlongs and he couldn't follow the field across because of the loose horse."
Harry Herbert, racing manager to Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, responsible for the third, Martyr, said: "We're thrilled with his run. He's been a revelation this year and we might step him up to a mile and three quarters and take a look at the Ebor."
The totesuper7 was won on Tuesday afternoon for only the third time after Ryan Moore steered Orpen's Art to victory in the Jimmy Heal Memorial Handicap at Brighton.
A total of 15 tickets were left in the final leg and Orpen Art's three-quarter of a length victory over Louie's Lad meant there were three winners, each of whom pick up a dividend of £292,931.39.
Two of the winners placed their bets through totesport.com to the tune of £108 and £18,432 respectively but the other placed just a £2 straight line through Betfair.
"Although the Super7 has been won twice before, this is the first time it's been landed with just a £2 stake and it goes to show that the bet can be won by both big and small staking punters alike," said totepool spokesman George Primarolo.
There were also 42 winners of the 'Any 6' dividend who pick up £388.80 each whilst the 'Any 5' dividend paid £34.10. Wednesday's totesuper7 comes from Chepstow and Kempton and has a £100,000 guaranteed pool before deductions.

Godolphin have yet to formulate a plan for Eastern Anthem
following his sixth place in the Coronation Cup at Epsom.
The five-year-old won the Dubai Sheema Classic in March
when under the care of Mubarak bin Shafya but has since
switched back to the yard of Saeed bin Suroor.
The trainer expected Eastern Anthem to need to the run at
Epsom and he still has a couple of options at Royal Ascot
next week.
"Eastern Anthem will improve for his run at Epsom, he is also entered in the Gold Cup and the Prince Of Wales's," said bin Suroor.
"We need to decide what to do with him but I expect him to come on a lot."
One horse who will not be heading to Ascot or anywhere else for a while is last year's Caulfield Cup winner All The Good, who remains on the sidelines for the foreseeable future.
"All The Good had a problem out in Australia and there are no plans for him at the moment," added bin Suroor.
