Dubai Millennium
Dubai Millennium (2 March 1996 – 29 April 2001) was a British-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. The colt was trained in the United Kingdom and Dubai during his racing career from 1998 and 2000. He is notable for winning a series of major races in 1999 and 2000, including the Dubai World Cup. He died after contracting grass sickness at the age of five.
Dubai Millennium was foaled on 2 March 1996 at the Dalham Hall Stud. He was by the Mr. Prospector stallion Seeking The Gold, out of the Prix de Pomone winner Colorado Dancer. Apart from Dubai Millennium, Seeking the Gold sired the winners of 27 Group One/Grade I races including Pleasant Home, Jazil, and Bob and John Colorado Dancer was a daughter of Fall Aspen, a highly successful broodmare who produced eight winners of Group/Graded races including Preakness Stakes winner Timber Country.
Dubai Millennium was originally sent into training with David Loder at Newmarket and was ridden in all but one of his races by Frankie Dettori.
He was initially named Yaazer1 (meaning "white gazelle"), but Sheikh Mohammed, owner of Godolphin, renamed the colt Dubai Millennium after he was identified2 as the most promising of his two-year-old colts.
Dubai Millennium made his debut as a two-year-old at Yarmouth in October 1998. He started odds-on favourite and won by five lengths despite being eased down by jockey Frankie Dettori in the closing stages.
At the end of the year, Dubai Millennium was transferred to the stable of Saeed bin Suroor and wintered at the Godolphin training facility in Dubai.
During the winter, he began to appear in the betting list for the following year's Derby, although some felt that his name was the main reason for the attention.
Dubai Millennium began his three-year-old season at Doncaster in May, where he was "impressive" in leading from the start and winning by nine lengths. On his next start, he was moved up in class and distance for the Listed Predominate Stakes over a mile and a quarter at Goodwood, a recognised trial for the Derby. Accompanied by a large Godolphin entourage and looking "magnificent", he started at odds of 4/11. In the race, he moved to take the lead two furlongs from home and went clear to win by three and a half lengths. Immediately afterwards, his connections expressed no worries about the Derby distance, although some concern was expressed about the possibility of firm ground, which was felt to be unsuitable for such a big, heavily built horse.
