At 4, he won the World Cup 10f and the Prince of Wales's (10f) but never got the chance to show that, like Brigadier Gerard, that he could stretch his miler speed to 12f with his class. He was more of a 'might have been one of the greatest' than an actual member of the club.

I agree. I have no idea why he is always mentioned and a truly great horse like Zarkava is rarely mentioned. Zarkava was clearly a better horse than Dubai Millenium but I guess her short career may have a little to do with it.
