Althiqa Completes Godolphin, Appleby Exacta In Just A Game Stakes Sponsored by: Althiqa (GB) (Dark Angel [IRE]) and jockey Mike Smith win the Just a Game (I) at Belmont Park 6/5/21. Trainer: Charlie Appleby. Owner: Godolphin Stable It was clear in the stretch of the Grade 1 Just A Game Stakes that a gray horse under the Godolphin blue from the yard of trainer Charlie Appleby was going to end up in the winner's circle. After slipping past her stablemate through a tight rail seam, Althiqa took the honors over pacesetter Summer Romance. Althiqua, a 4-year-old British-bred daughter of Dark Angel, was tucked in near the back of the pack by jockey Mike Smith during the opening jumps, while Summer Romance shot out to a multi-length lead. Zofelle followed Summer Romance from the inside post, along with New York Girl, but the leader was ahead by several lengths after the opening quarter in :23.43 seconds.
