Making just his third career start, Beat Hollow finished third to Sinndar and Sakhee in the 1½-mile Epsom Derby.
He then won the Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp Racecourse in Paris, France, a race which at that time was run at distance of 2,000 metres (1¼ miles).
Beat Hollow suffered from illness problems that kept him out of racing in 2001 but late in the year he was shipped to trainer Bobby Frankel in the United States.
Back on the track as a five-year-old in 2002, Beat Hollow made eight starts on American turf.
The best of his Flat race offspring to date has been Sea Moon, while his son Minella Indo won the 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup.
