and active sire, bred in Ireland, but trained in the United Kingdom
, Dubai
and the United States
. He is best known as the winner of the Epsom Derby
in 1998

in Ireland
.
.
He was the best offspring of his sire, High Estate the Champion European two-year-old of 1988.
His dam, High Tern was a minor winner, and a sister of High Hawk, a top-class stayer (Premio Roma
) who produced the Breeders' Cup Turf
winner In The Wings
.
High-Rise was first sent into training with Luca Cumani
at Newmarket, Suffolk.
. He ran prominently, but after looking outpaced in the straight, he produced a strong late to lead close to the finish and win by a short head.
. Starting the 2/1 favourite he was moved up to take the lead a furlong
from the finish and quickly went clear of the field. His jockey, Jason Weaver
, eased the colt down in the closing stages as he recorded a three and a half length win.
He was then moved up in class for the for the Group Three
Lingfield Derby Trial
. As its name suggests, this race is often an important indicator of Derby
form, and had produced several winners of the Epsom race, including Kahyasi
, trained by Luca Cumani ten years previously. Ridden by Frankie Dettori
High-Rise took the lead two furlongs out and ran on strongly under pressure to win by a neck from Sadian. After the race, Cumani described High-Rise as "a very nice horse" with "a real turn of foot", but seemed undecided about running him in the Derby.
, winner of the 1,000 Guineas, who was ridden by Frankie Dettori
. Her main danger was expected to come from the Ballydoyle
colts Second Empire and King of Kings, with High-Rise being largely ignored as a 20/1 outsider, despite being the only unbeaten horse in the field. Ridden by Olivier Peslier
, High-Rise was held up in the early stages and was still towards the rear as the field turned into the straight, led by the 150/1 outsider Sunshine Street. From two furlongs out, High-Rise began to make rapid progress, catching Sunshine Street to take the lead a furlong from the finish. The only challenger was Cape Verdi's stable companion, City Honours, who was produced with a strong run along the inside by John Reid. The two colts raced alongside each other in the closing strides and reached the line almost together, with High-Rise, under a strong ride from Peslier, winning by a head. Peslier, who was cautioned by the stewards for his frequent use of the whip, praised the colt's speed and courage: "He absolutely flew... he's a fighter".
Plans to run High-Rise against the Prix du Jockey-Club winner Dream Well in the Irish Derby, which would have involved paying a £75,000 supplementary fee, were abandoned after Cumani decided that the horse needed more time to recover between races.
High-Rise did not run again till late July, when he was made 11/4 favourite for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot
He raced more prominently than at Epsom and produced a sustained run in the straight, despite hanging to the left under pressure, and finished second, a length behind Swain
. Although he had been defeated, it was arguably his best performance, as he finished ahead of notable horses such as Royal Anthem, Daylami
and Silver Patriarch
.
Following the race, High-Rise's connections announced that the colt would stay in training as a four-year-old.
on soft ground at Longchamp. Ridden by Mick Kinane he stayed on strongly after being unable to find a clear run in the closing stages and finished seventh, beaten three lengths, behind Sagamix.
The horse was being prepared for the Breeders' Cup Turf
when it was announced that he would be sent to Saeed Bin Suroor
to be prepared for the following year's Dubai World Cup
. Cumani described the decision as "a bit of a shock"
, and was described as being in "cracking form" prior to the race he ran very disappontingly, finishing tailed off last of the eight runners behind Almutawakel
.
High-Rise was then off the course for almost six months. On his reappearance, he ran a promising race in the Arc Trial
at Newbury
finishing three quarters of a length second to Fantastic Light
, with the two finishing nine lengths clear of the other runners. At Newmarket a month later he finished sixth, beaten three lengths the Champion Stakes
, finishing strongly after being blocked and losing his place in a rough race.
High-Rise's intended target for the end of the season was the Breeders' Cup Turf
, but when nineteen runners were entered for the fourteen runner race, he was named only third reserve, and his connections re-routed him to the Japan Cup.
The change in plan proved profitable as High-Rise earned £268,000 in the Tokyo race, in which he finished third behind Special Week and Indigenous
, ahead of notable performers such as Montjeu
, Borgia
and Stay Gold
.
"comfortably" by two and a half lengths. The performance was described by one trade paper as a "brilliant return to form." A month later he finished third of sixteen runners to Fantastic Light

Before his next race High-Rise's ownership was transferred back to Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum and the horse was moved to the stable of Kiaran McLaughlin
in New York
. He made only one start for his new trainer, finishing last of the eight runners behind Manndar in the Manhattan Handicap
at Belmont Park
