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."
