Intikhab was an American-bred racehorse who was trained in both the United Kingdom and Dubai. His reputation rested on wide margin victories in the Diomed Stakes at Epsom and the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in June 1998. Although he never won (or even contested) a Group One race that season, his two wins were impressive enough to make him one of the highest-rated horses in the world. He later became a successful breeding stallion, siring the multiple Group One winner Snow Fairy. Intikhab died on 22 May 2016, aged 22.
