Dubai Mile has been moved to trainers Freddie and Martyn Meade after a deal was secured to purchase half of last year’s Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner from owner Ahmad Al Shaikh.

The three-year-old, previously trained by Charlie Johnston, will stand as a stallion at the Meades’ Manton Park Stud after his racing career, joining Aclaim, Advertise and Technician on the stud’s roster.

Bought for €20,000 as a yearling by Mark Johnston, Dubai Mile progressed during his first season last year, ending with a second in the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes before his Group 1 success in France.
