Assessment
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.

Famous quotes containing the word assessment:
“The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.”
—Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
