Oxx adopts patient approach with new arrivals John Oxx will take his time with the five juveniles sent his way by Sheikh Mohammed. The pair have renewed their association after a brief hiatus and the youngsters are set to run in Godolphin blue. The new horses are a timely boost for Oxx, who has seen his numbers dwindle in recent years. "They are backward two-year-olds but they are nice and very welcome," the Currabeg handler told At The Races. "I've trained a lot of winners for Sheikh Mohammed over the years so we are renewing the association, which is great news for us. "There are a few nice ones. It will take a bit of time before they make a racecourse but we're very happy to have them."
