Trainer John Gosden has registered his first winner for Godolphin with Tempus Temporis at the opening of the new all-weather track at Chelmsford City.
Formerly known as Great Leighs, the track closed in January 2009 after going into administration but has reopened under a new name.
Gosden looks like being the chief beneficiary of the decision tun run all the horses previously owned by Princess Haya of Jordan, Sheikh Mohammed's wife, in the Godolphin blue.
Tempus Temporis started at 11-4 and beat Super Kid by an easy five lengths.
Godolphin representative Jono Mills said the All-Weather Championship on Good Friday would be the aim.
The Godolphin colours were also carried to victory when Tryster edged out Gaelic Silver in the opening race.
His jockey Adam Kirby was pleased with the Polytrack surface.
"I was quite surprised as I thought it (the track) was a little bit deep, but it's a sound surface," he said. "It's perfect."
There are 58 meetings scheduled in 2015 for the track which has undergone a STG15 million ($A27.38 million) makeover.
