Godophin have had a big weekend with their fillies winning the Group I Kentucky Oaks with Pretty Mischievous and then the Group I Newmarket 1000 Guineas with Exceed and Excel filly Mawj.
Group I placed last season, Mawj took race fitness into the Guineas winning two races in Dubai in January and February before returning to the UK.
Ridden by Oisin Murphy, she scored a half length win over the favourite Tahiyra with a massive field of 20 lining up in the classic.
