The Godolphin acquisition also includes this year's Queen Anne and Prix d'Ispahan winner Valixir, dual Group 3 winner Caradak, and Oiseau Rare, winner of the Gr.2 Prix de Royallieu.

All four are expected to stay in training in 2006, with Valixir and Caradak destined for Nad Al Sheba in springtime. Shawanda and Oiseau Rare will both make excellent broodmare prospects when their racing careers close.
