Sinndar, a racehorse owned and bred by HH Aga Khan IV, and trained by John Oxx.
Sinndar was foaled in 1997, and in 2000 he became the only horse to win the Epsom Derby, Irish Derby Stakes and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in the same year.
He won seven of eight starts, and was only beaten by a head while giving seven pounds in his only defeat.

 Carlow Nationalist - 2000/06/30: Sinndar for the $ million bonus
Sinndar won both his two year old races at the Curragh last season culminating in a fine victory in the Aga Khan Studs National Stakes.
Sinndar is not over big and is a handy horse who was well suited by the undulations of Epsom.
He ran in a Group 3 event at Longchamp when he was bounced out by Olivier Preslier and none of his four rivals got in a serious blow when he made all and won eased at the finish to score by 3L.

 RTÉ.ie Sport - Racing: Aga rates Sinndar as highly as Shergar
Following Sinndar's great victory in yesterday's Prix de l'Arc Triomphe, his owner, the Aga Khan, has said he is as great as the legendary Shergar.

However, Sinndar could be the exception and discussions on this prospect will be held later this week.

Sinndar’s owner is certain of one thing, that his Grand Lodge colt ranks as high as the legendary Shergar in his thoughts.
There were few worries for connections of Sinndar for most of the 12-furlong contest although their hearts skipped a beat as Raypour, given the task of ensuring a decent pace for his more illustrious stablemate, was not sighted coming out of the stalls.

 Telegraph | Sport | Racing: Sinndar retired to stud
SINNDAR, who earned a place in racing history as the first horse to win the Epsom and Irish Derbys, in addition to the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, has been retired and is to stand at his owner the Aga Khan's Gilltown Stud in Ireland, at a fee of IR£30,000 next year.
In that race, Sinndar travelled well, behind his pacemaker Raypour, until the home straight, and when taken into the lead by jockey Johnny Murtagh, the colt galloped on, establishing a sizeable break on the field and then repelling the late challenge of Egyptband.
For the sake of racing, and the racegoing public, it is sad that Sinndar will not be seen in action again, especially as the appearance of Montjeu (whom he defeated into fourth place in the Arc) is expected to boost the attendance on Saturday's Champion's Day at Newmarket.

John Oxx, trainer of Sinndar, had taken every measure possible to make sure that the race would be run to suit the HH The Aga Khan-owned colt.
Take nothing away from Sinndar though: Johnny Murtagh had to be hard at work a fair way out, as Sinndar proved to be more of a relentless galloper than a Porsche going from 0-60 in a split second.
Sinndar also holds an entry in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes, but with the close proximity of the race and the fact that he has been kept on the go, Oxx may well decide to bypass that.

 Sinndar has all the right credentials to land Derby
If Sinndar was in the yard of a big-name Newmarket trainer he would be half his current odds of 12-1, which are freely available this morning.
Sinndar's style of running suggests the genes of his stamina-endowed mother, who won the two-mile Irish Cesarewitch and hails from a classy line, are making their presence felt more than those of his sire, Grand Lodge, a St James's Palace Stakes winner who finished runner-up in the 10-furlong Champion Stakes.
Taken together, Sinndar's form and breeding, not to mention an ideal temperament, suggest he will be hard to keep out of the first three at Epsom.

The winners of the most important European Derbies (Sinndar and Holding Court) both come down in direct male line from Northern Dancer, the first through the substantially sprinter one of Danzig – Chief’s Crown and finally Grand Lodge; the second through the classic branch of Nijinski – Niniski – Hernando.

Sinndar strode into racing history when providing the star turn of a magical Group 1 treble for Johnny Murtagh with a power-packed success in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (Fr-G1) at Longchamp on Sunday, with favored Montjeu struggling home in fourth place.
The start of the race did not go according to script as Raypour, Sinndar’s pacemaker, was very slow to get going, and Murtagh found himself leading on Sinndar for the first furlong until Niall McCullagh vigorously scrubbed his stablemate up to take charge.
Sinndar (by Grand Lodge—Sinntara, by Lashkari) tracked his stablemate until turning for home three furlongs out, where Murtagh said "go" and he lengthened immediately.
