Two-time UAE champion Lord North (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), who raced for His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Mohammed Racing, has been retired to Godophin's Rehoming after a lengthy career at the highest level.

Trained by John and Thady Gosden, the bay's biggest claim to fame was a trio of victories in Meydan's G1 Dubai Turf in 2021, 2022 and 2023. He also won the 202 G1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot and a pair of Group 3s, including the 2023 Winter Derby. He was second in the 2022 and 2024 editions. The 8-year-old gelding, out of Najoum (Giant's Causeway), retires with a mark of 24-10-4-2 and $8,148,646 in earnings. His career finale was an eighth-place finish in the 2024 Prince of Wales Stakes.

Jonn Gosden told Racing Post, “Lord North has been retired to join Godolphin Rehoming after an illustrious career. He retires a sound horse, but the years have caught up with him.

“He's been a pleasure to train over the years and he's a horse who has always had a lot of character. He's provided his groom and rider Aldir Centuriao as well as head man P J O'Gorman with a lot of pleasure over the years and they will be sad to see him go, as will all of us at Clarehaven Stables.”
