Notable Speech (foaled 10 March 2021)[1] is a Thoroughbred racehorse. He is trained in Great Britain by Charlie Appleby and owned by Godolphin. He gained international success when winning the Breeders' Cup Mile in 2025. Earlier he had achieved his breakthrough victory in the 2000 Guineas Stakes, in April 2024. This was his first race on turf and he was the first horse since 1938 to win the Guineas without running as a two-year-old.[2] He has been ridden by William Buick.

Background

Notable Speech was sired by Dubawi, a champion racehorse and excellent sire.[3][4] Notable Speech's grandsire, Dubai Millennium, was also a dominant racehorse.[5][6]
