Fantasy Stable League

What can I win?: There are fantastic prizes for second to fifth place and an overall Fantasy Stable League Winner prize.

The winner and runners-up will be notified using the information provided in your account. Proof of identity may be required.
I don't know anything about racing can I still play?: Of course, you don’t need to be an expert – we hope the Godolphin Fantasy Stable League will be a fun experience for everyone. If you’re new to Godolphin and horseracing you can choose the Lucky Dip selector.
Can I have more than one fantasy stable?: No, in the interest of fair play, each registered player may only have one fantasy stable.
Which league can I play?: The Dubai Racing Carnival 2025 league runs from Friday, 8 Nov 2024 to Monday, 7 Apr 2025.
How do I select my horses?: Select your horses by tapping the + symbol next to their name until you have 10 horses in your stable. A tick next to their name in the list indicates selected horses. Once a horse has been selected the next empty slot in the stable is automatically highlighted. You can return to a selected horse by clicking on the relevant horse icon. Remember to Save your Selection!
How does the lucky dip work?: The Lucky Dip button randomly selects 10 horses from the list of horses available and adds them to your stable (replacing any horses already selected). Further clicking repeats this process and replaces the current set of horses with a new selection. Once you are happy with your selection save it to enter the competition.
Can I make changes to my stable after entering the game?: Yes, you can change the horses in your fantasy stable five times during the competition. For the sake of clarification, each time you make a change to your stable by selecting new horses, it is counted as a ‘swap’, no matter how many horses you change (one or all 10 horses).
What happens to the horses that were in my stable?: Following your stable swap, any horses that you replace will be stored and all their competition data displayed in a separate section below your current fantasy stable.
Can I cancel my stable swap?: No, once you have saved your stable, only the horses in your current selection will be eligible to earn points when they race.
How can I view past race results?: Full race results can be found on the main Godolphin website here.
Can I play on multiple devices or platforms?: Yes, Club Godolphin and Godolphin Fantasy Stable League have been designed for use on any device and platform.

Scoring

How are points calculated?: Your horses earn points by finishing first, second or third in races they take part in during the competition dates. Points are awarded as follows:

Race type 1st 2nd 3rd

Group 1 500 400 300

Group 2 400 300 200

Group 3 300 200 100

Listed 250 160 80

All other races 120 80 40
When are results updated?: Points will be updated once we’ve received full race results from the governing racing jurisdiction. This is usually within two hours of each race finishing.
My points have changed since I last checked but my horse(s) has not raced since, why is that?: The most likely reason is your horse, or another horse in the race, has been disqualified. Sometimes this happens a few days after the event following a stewards enquiry or similar.
What happens if one of my horses is disqualified?: Your overall points score will be updated to reflect this as well as the points attributed to the particular horse.
Where can I see my overall position in the league?: Your position is displayed at the top of the Leader board along with the top 50 players.

Race type	1st	2nd	3rd
Group 1	500	400	300
Group 2	400	300	200
Group 3	300	200	100
Listed	250	160	80
All other races	120	80	40

How can I earn bonus points?: Earn points by choosing where you think the Godolphin horse(s) entered in the selected bonus race will finish. You can take part in the Bonus Race, regardless if the horse(s) running in the selected race is in your fantasy stable or not.
How are bonus points calculated?: You can win 200 points if you correctly guess the placing of the Godolphin horse in the bonus points race. If there is more than one Godolphin horse in the bonus race, you will win 200 points for each correct guess. No points are earned for incorrect guesses.
