When the grand history of horse racing is written, a glorious chapter will indisputably be dedicated to one momentous weekend in early May 2025 — when Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, conquered the racing world.
In a historic achievement across just 48 hours, Godolphin — the royal blue racing empire Sheikh Mohammed founded in 1992 — secured victories in four of the sport’s most iconic races on two continents: the Kentucky Derby (G1), Kentucky Oaks (G1), English 2,000 Guineas (G1), and 1,000 Guineas.
