An impressive-looking colt, Sakhee was trained by John Dunlop at two and three; having won the Sandown Classic Trial and the Dante at York in 2000, he finished a brave second to Sinndar in the Epsom Derby when pulling 5l clear of the third horse Beat Hollow; he was slightly disappointing in the Eclipse subsequently, but missed the rest of the year and had knee surgery in the winter before being transferred to Godolphin; scored easily in a Listed race on his 2001 return and followed up by running away with the Group 1 Juddmonte International at York, beating Grandera by 7l, but he enjoyed his finest hour in the Group 1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 47 days later, beating 16 rivals headed by Aquarelliste by upwards of 6l; he arguably enhanced his reputation with a narrow defeat at the hands of Tiznow in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Belmont Park and finished third behind Street Cry in the Dubai World Cup the following March; he was surprisingly beaten at Deauville in August, but his old physical problems may have resurfaced there and that proved to be his last appearance
