The name for the new colt was suggested by two members, Lesley McGrath and Angela Wormald and was given the vote of approval ahead of many other names drawn. Abgela also had her name drawn as winner of a Champagne lunch for two people at Goodwood next season.

Afterwards Goodwood Treasure returned to Lavington Stud, where she will remain at grass until the New Year. Goodwood Atlantis will continue with his elementary training at Arundel.

The bay colt has a pedigree packed with high class speed elements , coming from the world’s premier speed line stemming from Mr Prospector.
