The winner was Michael E. Pegram's Captain Steve, a four-year-old chestnut colt trained in the United States by Bob Baffert and ridden by Jerry Bailey. Captain Steve's victory was a third in the race for Bailey, a second for Baffert and a first for Pegram.

Captain Steve was one of the leading colts of his generation in the United States, winning the Hollywood Futurity in 1999 and the Swaps Stakes in 2000. Before being shipped to Dubai he won the Donn Handicap at Gulfstream Park on 3 February. In the 2001 Dubai World Cup he started the 7/4 joint-favourite and won by three lengths from the Japanese challenger To The Victory with the French-trained Hightori half a length away in third place. The other joint-favourite was the Godolphin runner Best of the Bests, who finished eighth of the twelve runners. [1]
