Tara Madgwick - Friday May 24
Godolphin purchased a number of yearlings at the sales of 2018 and among them was Hallowed Crown colt Widespread, who made a winning debut at Cranbourne on Friday evening.

Hallowed CrownTrained by James Cummings, Widespread led all the way as favourite to score a length and a quarter win in the 1200 metre maiden.
