LORD NORTH RETIRES

26 Sep 2024 17:08


 

Globetrotting star Lord North has been retired from racing at the age of eight after a lucrative career which yielded more than £6.4 million in prize-money and ten wins, including four at Group 1 level.

John Gosden hailed Lord North as a horse who had “a lot of character”, as the son of Dubawi ends his racing career best known for three consecutive victories in the Dubai Turf on World Cup night at Meydan.
Owned by Sheikh Zayed bin Mohammed Racing, Lord North won ten of his 24 starts in a career that began with victory under Robert Havlin in a mile novice at Redcar in October 2018.

In 2020, Lord North achieved a career-high rating of 124 when winning at Royal Ascot from Addeybb, subsequently a multiple winner at the highest level. Later that year he made his sole appearance at the Breeders’ Cup, finishing fourth in the Turf.

The following March, Lord North registered the first of his three wins under Frankie Dettori in the $5m Dubai Turf when overcoming Vin De Garde before returning 12 months later to dead-heat with Panthalassa.

The hat-trick was completed when the pair overcame Danon Beluga last year and he was far from disgraced when finishing eighth in a bid to win it for a fourth time in March.
