Top ten Khalid Abdullah owned horses

Warning may have got Cataldi off the bit in that Lincoln to be fair.

4. Think you are referring to Banks Hill

Commander In Chief
Sanglamore
Oasis Dream

No Zafonic
3 Derby winners missing
I could go on

you can only fit 10 in a top ten, FACT.

3. Rail Link

Some omissions there though like American Post, Bolas, Commander In Chief, Danehill, Houseproud, Oasis Dream, Sanglamore, Toulon, Warning, Wemyss Bight, Workforce, Zafonic and the some of the US ones like Empire Maker and Ryafan.

im-amazed

Lady Carla a shokking omission imo.

Perhaps you should have considered the following thread title in that case:
"10 Khallid Abdullah owned horses picked completely at random, the names of several I can't quite recall!"

2-y-o at Royal Ascot Three Valleys

telephone


Lady Carla was owned by Wafic Said

ElGran - I'd imagine it's close to 1.01 that he/she knows that; clearly at it

Reams of Verse
Midday
Slightly Dangerous
Shirley Valentine
Modena
All at Sea
Wemyss Bight
Kingscote

and many more wonderful stud mares that produce the goods year after year.

I think El Gran Senor is thinking of Bosra Sham imo,

an understandable mistake.

El Gran senor is correct, Lady Carla owned by Wafic Said. So many great horses impossible to rank a top 10 but top 3 imo Frankel,Dancing Brave & Empire Maker. The French one that won the Arc was Rail Link, best breeding operation bar none.

telephone

Lady Carla and Bosra Sham were both owned by Wafic Said, who previously owened Distant Relative. The fillies won the Oaks and 1,000 Guineas respectively in 1996 both trained by Sir Henry and ridden by Eddery.

Dushyantor imho

Beat Hollow, Cityscape, Defensive Play, Distant Music, Distant View, French Glory, Observatory, Passage Of Time, Polish Summer, Quiff, Special Duty, Sunshack, Tilerman, Tenby, Twice Over, Wince, Xaar and Zenda are a few other decent ones although maybe not enough to be in his top 10.

did'nt he own St Leger wnr Toulon?

The brilliant Danehill and Derby winner Quest For Fame

Known Fact
Abeer

Has anyone mentioned Dansili?

Charming Native
Adonijah
Yashmak
Beat Hollow
Chester House
Phoenix Tower
Wince

For anoraks.....in the summer of 1987 Abdullah briefly had the three favs (all in double figures admittedly) for the following year's Guineas. All were trained by Guy Harwood - a point for each.

warning?

Undercut ?

Undercut ?

A point each to Messrs Cherry and Liebe....

might need an initial for a clue

Warning a shocking ommision

Assatis ?

Armiger

warning has been mentioned 4 times now

Right era Tobermory but no. Warning and Undercut both won at Goodwood and the talk was that they had an unraced one better at home according to some (including Geoff Lawson, Guy's assistant). Began with T.

Tregarron ??

Nope.

scraping the barrel a bit now....Tillerman

Ahhh it was it Tralos ?

joligeneration

around 1994/5 Gosden trained a filly called Ryafan.
She was promising,may have won some nice races?

Mr Liebe takes it, it was indeed Tralos.

digamist

wd VL, the name Tralos does ring a small bell

tralos won his 2 2yo races at 4/7 and 1/8. dare say the dogs were barking before he raced

trampship

Harwood may have also trained 2 Derby
fancies in Bakaroff and Defensive Play.

who was the only horse to beat undercut as a 2yo

Salse?

Sanquirico or Bonhomie, whichever in the Royal Lodge

Ryafan won the Falmouth & Nassau stakes when trained by Gosden in 96/97 then transferred to Bobby Frankel and won 3 Gr1's on the bounce, Top filly.

sanquirico is correct

had a nice AP bet on her to win the Oaks.
Think Abdullah won with Reams Of Verse.
Joint Favs,if I remember correctly, in the
winter.

Penzance correct, Yashmak another top Filly of Abdulla's was 4th

Wince

The one that is still boxed in at Epsom's 2 furlong marker courtesy R Hughes

I was at a Windsor night meeting on a Monday when he had his first ever winner (it's been mentioned on this thread). It was an unraced 2yo that won the first race on the card in a big field (Piggott rode; Jeremy Tree trained). I backed a horse in it called C0cky Dundas (named after one of Lord Oaksey's mates I think. It did no good that night, but won a similar race at the track later that season - again first race on the card). I used to go those meetings before doing a night shift in a glue factory on Slough Trading estate.

Exbourne and Belloto,both placed in classics.?

What a breeding operation the Prince has, but when you have broodmares like Hasili that go onto produce names like Banks Hill, Cacique, Champs Elysees, Dansili, Heat Haze and Intercontinental you can see why year after the Juddmonte production line collects at the top level.
Her offspring alone are six winners of twelve G1's, seven G2's and nine G3's :-o

Placerville was the only horse to beat Urban Sea in her Arc year IIRC

Digression looked a good one at 2 but didn't train on.

Primary hasn't been mentioned,

landed The Ebor and some nice bets for me.

I cant believe no one has mentioned Bel Bolide yet who was classic placed.
