Prince Bishop defeated the best of America in California Chrome and Lea to spring a surprise in the Dubai World Cup at Meydan.
William Buick brought Saeed bin Suroor's evergreen eight-year-old to lead a furlong and a half out and win the world's richest Flat race.
Last year's Kentucky Derby hero California Chrome was a one-paced second, with Lea finishing third.
Buick, in his first season as a retained jockey for Godolphin, said: "I cannot believe it. This horse has come good. I can't express what I'm feeling right now. It's very surreal.
"We were detached last, but we ended up travelling very well in the last turn. I feel a bit numb at the moment but I'm sure when I get home it will all sink in. It's a great team effort."
Bin Suroor, who also won the race last season with African Story, said of the 14-1 scorer: "I knew the horse had ability. It's such an important victory. I am very happy with that."
California Chrome's trainer Art Sherman said: "He lost a lot of ground on both turns but he still ran game. He ran his eyeballs out. I'm just happy he came back in one piece.
"He tried every inch of the way. There's nothing wrong with finishing second in this type of a race."
