Daylami
The globetrotting grey, Daylami, excelled in his final season in 1999, earning Cartier’s European Horse of the Year and North American Male Turf Champion titles. He won the Coronation Cup, King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes, Irish Champion Stakes, and Breeders’ Cup Turf. Previously, he won the Coral-Eclipse and French 2000 Guineas. Daylami won 11 of his 21 races and had an official rating of 135. He was retired to stud at the close of 1999, going on to sire the winners of more than 400 races.
Dubai Millennium
One of the best horses, if not the best, owned by Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin operation. His only defeat in ten races came when not staying The Derby trip in 1999. He was flawless in his other races, winning them by an aggregate of more than 47 lengths. The highlights came in his final two races, as a four-year-old, when he followed a memorable six-length romp in the Dubai World Cup with a tremendous eight-length success in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot. His official rating zoomed to 136.
Giant’s Causeway
Dubbed “The Iron Horse” for his remarkable constitution, Giant’s Causeway was one of the first superstar performers trained by Aidan O’Brien. Unbeaten in three starts as a two-year-old in 1999, he won at The Curragh before contesting nine successive Group One/Grade One races over seven months. He was runner-up in both the English and Irish 2000 Guineas, then won the St James’s Palace Stakes, Coral-Eclipse, Sussex Stakes, Juddmonte International, and Irish Champion Stakes. He also placed second in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes and was narrowly beaten in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
Montjeu
The six-time Group One winner illuminated the sport with exhilarating performances. Trained by John Hammond, Montjeu won the 1999 French Derby, Irish Derby, and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. In 2000, he captured the Tattersalls Gold Cup, Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, and King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes. Owned by Michael Tabor, he sired four Derby winners and numerous other top-class performers, earning a peak rating of 135.
