context_page_description: Dubai Millennium was a Thoroughbred racehorse and sire, trained in the United Kingdom and Dubai during his racing career which ran 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.
context_section_description: In the International Classification (the forerunner of the World Thoroughbred Racehorse Rankings) Dubai Millennium was named the best racehorse in the world in 2000 with a rating of 134, ahead of Sinndar (132) and Montjeu (130). The rating was considered rather disappointing for those who had considered him a true "great". He had previously been awarded a rating of 127 for his 1999 performances.
  Dubai Millennium was given a Timeform rating of 140— the highest since Dancing Brave in 1986, and the eighth highest since the organisation was founded in 1948.
  Dubai Millennium never won a Cartier Racing Award. In 1999 he was beaten to the titles of Champion Three-Year-Old Colt and Horse of the Year by Montjeu and Daylami respectively. A year later Giant's Causeway was Horse of the Year, with Kalanisi being named Champion Older Horse.
