Poet's Voice (7 March 2007 – 17 March 2018) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He showed very good form as a two-year-old in 2009 when he won two races including the Champagne Stakes. He failed to live up to his promise in the first half of the following year but then returned to form to win the Celebration Mile and then defeated a very strong field to take the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. He never won again and was retired at the end of 2011. He was a headstrong and unpredictable racehorse, breaking out of the starting stalls on one occasion and biting one of his rivals on another. He made a very promising start to his stallion career, siring the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Poet's Word in his first season at stud. Background Poet's Voice is a bay horse with no white markings who was bred by Sheikh Mohammed's Dalham Hall Stud and raced in the colours of the Sheikh's Godolphin organisation. He has trained by Saeed bin Suroor, whose stable is based at Newmarket, Suffolk, but typically relocates to Dubai in winter. He was ridden in all but one of his races by Frankie Dettori. He was sired by Dubawi a top-class son of Dubai Millennium, whose wins included the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the Prix Jacques Le Marois. At stud, Dubawi has been a highly-successful breeding stallion, siring major winners such as Monterosso, Al Kazeem, Makfi, Lucky Nine and Night of Thunder. Poet's Voice's dam Bright Tiara won one minor race in the United States and was later bought for $3,000,000 by John Ferguson Bloodstock on behalf of Sheikh Mohammed. Her dam Expressive Dance was a half-sister to General Assembly. Racing career 2009: two-year-old season Poet's Voice made his debut in a seven furlong maiden race at Newmarket Racecourse on 8 July in which he started at odds of 6/1 and finished third behind Elusive Pimpernel and Timely Jazz. Just over three weeks later, over the same course and distance, he recorded his first success: starting the 4/9 favourite, he took the lead approaching the final furlong and quickly went clear of his rivals, winning by ten lengths despite being eased down before the finish. The colt was then moved up in class and started 7/4 favourite for the Group 3 Acomb Stakes at York Racecourse in August but compromised his
