He went off as the 2/1 favourite and faced 10 rivals, including Godolphin's Aljabr, the only other Group 1 winner in the field, who having been sent to America to run in the Kentucky Derby was withdrawn due to injury.

It was the aim for Sendawar to face Dubai Millennium in the Prix Jacques Le Marois in the summer, but he was withdrawn due to very soft ground.

On 13 August, in his last race, Sendawar was sent off as the 7/10 favourite for the Prix Jacques Le Marois over 1,600m at Deuville and came three lengths second to the Godolphin-trained five-year-old Muhtathir.

It was the intention for Sendawar to run again in the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, but he was withdrawn from the race, having been retired by his connections.

[5] At stud Sendawar had limited success, he only had one notable progeny, namely Viva Macau, who earned £441,502 in prize money and who was placed in the Prix Jean Prat, the Hong Kong Classic Mile.
