Mohammed Obaid al Maktoum

High-Rise (foaled 3 May 1995) is a retired Thoroughbred race horse 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. He is currently at stud in Ireland.

High-Rise is a bay horse bred in Ireland by his owner Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum a cousin of Sheikh Mohammed.

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.

High-Rise made his racecourse debut at the very end of the 1997 British flat-racing season, when he was entered in an eighteen-runner maiden race at Doncaster. 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.

High-Rise began his three-year-old season with a run in a minor stakes event at Pontefract. 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.
