It seems unfair to judge a horse by the opponents it raced against, but Dubai Millennium’s legacy isn’t enhanced when you look at the fields that he beat.
He was a brilliant racehorse, but I struggle to put him among the very best for this reason. I think he still had untapped potential at the time of his forced retirement, and it is a great shame his career was cut short.
He was a strikingly beautiful horse, and certainly looked the part of a superstar.
