1. just HOW good of a horse was he? From what I gather, he was a freak.

2. did he ever product any offspring before he passed?

He was special

Yeah he had some, but never really had a shot.

A few years back I saw an interview on the BBC with Sheik Mohammed and he showed how the horse behaved in his stable. IMO he wasn't a freak at all. Very well behaving himself. But he was still racing then. Don't know how he was as a stallion.
The more I get to know people, the more I love animals.

He was a dead set star. There was a match race mooted with Montjeu, but both horses were injured and retired before it happened. He had one crop of foals before he died of Grass Sickness.

His first runner, Dubawi, was a winner and became an undefeated group one winning two year old. As a three year old he bashed Oratorio's brains in in the Irish 2000 guineas then beat a stellar feild in the Prix Jacques Le Marois (the horses in the race were considered good enough to win every running of the race for 20 years, with the exception of Dubai Milleniums year) Dubawi now stands at Darley and is a gorgeous, refined type.

Dubai Millenium was considered the best horse the Sheikh had ever laid eyes on. He would have given Invasor wind burn
