Making his fourth straight North American appearance, Godolphin's MASTER OF THE SEAS (IRE) (g, 6, Dubawi {Ire}–First of Lorne {Ire}, by Danehill) overcame easy underfoot conditions and five other rivals to add Friday's GI Maker's Mark Mile to his previous victories in the GI Ricoh Woodbine Mile and GI Breeders' Cup Mile when last seen at Santa Anita last November. Sent off at 77 cents on the dollar while making his seasonal debut, Master Of The Seas gained a foothold at the fence and raced handy enough to pacesetting 'TDN Rising Star' Emmanuel (More Than Ready) through fractions of :24.38 and :49.20. Riding the rails and traveling strongly on the turn beneath William Buick, Master Of The Seas went for a run underneath the weakening pacesetter in upper stretch and kicked on nicely to win off as much the best. Stablemate Naval Power (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), conversely having his first run outside of Europe in the Maker's Mark, was a touch slow to begin, but split horses four off the inside with a bit better than a furlong to travel and came home well for second. Integration (Quality Road) came wide for the drive, but could not match strides with the Godolphin duo and settled for third. Master Of The Seas joins the likes of Kip Deville and Wise Dan (2x) to have won the Maker's Mark subsequent to their Breeders' Cup Mile successes. Miesque's Approval won the 2006 Maker's Mark before upsetting that year's Mile at Churchill Downs. It was a first win in the race for Sheikh Mohammed's operation. O/B-Godolphin; T-Charlie Appleby.
