Atlantic Story ran three times for Godolphin in 2004 before being sent to the sales where we picked him up. He had won once for Saeed Bin Suroor but we knew there was more to come. The key to this horse was the all weather. He had an American dirt pedigree and he was a pure all weather horse. Atlantic Story won twelve times for us on the sand, six times at Lingfield, three times at Kempton, twice at Wolverhampton and once at Southwell. He got on well with Jamie Spencer who won five times on him. Atlantic Story won off a mark of 108 at Lingfield in 2008. Around Lingfield Park over a trip of seven furlongs he was untouchable. Atlantic Story was retired in 2012, winning 13 races from just 54 starts, almost a 25% strike rate.
