The Aga Khan

DQ of Aliysa 1989 Oaks

If i remember he had one disqualified in England once, although not by local stewards.

Beat me to it, WD mouse

I couldn't remember the name, but thought it was late 80's

In that article it says he was intending to have horses trained here again, but I'm not sure he ever did. Not sure why he changed his mind on that.

He had horses with Stoute much more recently than that surely?

One of his horses was disqualified for testing positive for a banned substance that was in his feed. I can’t remember all the details but I think Stoute trainee the animal. He appealed, lost the case and moved his horses to Ireland and France. He was very angry.

He had horses with Stoute until 2006, notably Kalanisi.

Thanks people.  I did see in passing an article from yonks ago when he was going to end his boycott over doping but no change since then!  He certainly can hold a grudge!

Has runners with stoute til 2005/06 im nearly sure.

Oxx was the main man outsude of France til 2013 then he shifted them all over to Weld

Halford always got the absolute scraps (backward types) with adequate success...

Dezangles used to get a fair spread of nice types but hes almost disappeared from training quality animals..

Basicaslly A De Royer Durpre IS AGA Khan LTD

Has an entire separate yard training all the beautiful families.

that article is 1994..he did have horses subsequently with Stoute and Cumani

the relevant point is his lack of trust of the drug testing procedure

his studs are in France and Ireland ... so no point in having them training in Britian

I'd forgot about Kalanisi etc because there was nothing like the furore when he pulled out for the second time.

one of several owners cumani has lost

Simple answer no one is above the rules of racing , well back then anyway

Unlike the Maktoums, with all their MUTTAFUQAH cr@p, the Aga Khan's horses always had beautiful sounding names, even although they were foreign.

Art Decko - Leaving aside that your post is almost total bollocks, a suggestion.  Do some research?

Research completed.

Aga Khan horses :Darshaan, Daylami, Dalakhani, Vereva, Zarkava.

Maktoum horses : MUTAFAJER, MUTADAREK, MUTAKAAREB, MUTAFARREJ, MUTASAWWAR.

Game, set,  and match to Dekko, methinks.

^ Bet Derek was upset at being called a MUTT.

Mutasawway means Brian The Snail. Fact!

These are Hamdan al Maktoums major winners.....

Art - how many would be one 26th of the Maktoum's horses. Would you like a complete list of the M's?, It might make you feel a little better.

He certainly can hold a grudge!

he forgave Soumillon pretty quickly

Don't forget the ALMUTA wons as well.

Erhaab is a pleasant name.

Didn't he move his Irish horses from Oxx to Weld.
Also remember he was not happy with Johnny Murtagh when he was riding and training.
I think a Murtagh trained horse beat an Aga horse ridden by Murtagh for Oxx

Mouse ...don't even get me started on the ALMU's ...

Decko - you are making my point for me.
