Atomic Rain Sold To Godolphin; Start In 2009 Haskell Invitational Uncertain
Atomic Rain, who won the Long Branch Stakes at Monmouth Park on July 11 for George and Lori Hall as his prep for the 2009 Haskell Invitational, has been sold to Godolphin and his status as one of the Haskell entries in the August 2 race is now uncertain.
Simon Crisford, Godolphin racing manager, said in a statement, “We have purchased Atomic Rain to race in Dubai this winter, but we will make a decision shortly with regard to his more immediate future.”
Kelly Breen, who had trained Atomic Rain since purchasing the Smart Strike colt at the 2007 Keeneland September yearling sale for $125,000, said the colt was being shipped to New York Wednesday and the deal would be finalized today.
Earlier this summer, the Halls sold another of their top 3-year-old colts, West Side Bernie, to Godolphin. He was also purchased for a winter campaign in Dubai.
