Two-year-old Season
Ridden by jockey Gerald Mosse, as a two-year-old Arazi had one of the best seasons in racing history. In France, he won six of his first seven races, thrilling French racing fans with his come-from-behind style. Able to shift into high gear and explode past any horses in front of him, Arazi would run away with an easy victory. By the end of the summer, he was considered among the best Thoroughbreds racing in Europe, regardless of age. In October, his American owner prepared to bring him to the United States for the 1991 Breeders' Cup. However, prior to the race, Shiekh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum made owner Allen Paulson an offer: $9 million for a 50% share in Arazi.
