 Let me repeat my trivia question, before Curtis's:

These two horses were finished first and second in two different orders in the King George at Ascot and the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown, they were ridden by two great European champion jockeys, one of the horses won the Hong Kong Cup before their rivalry of these two prestigious races from Europe, and the Breeders' Cup Turf at Belmont Park, the same year he finished second in the King George, but defeated his rival in the Irish Champion Stakes, what are the names of these two horses in a rivalry in the King George and the Irish Champion Stakes?

(Hint: One of them is owned by Godolphin)
