Prince Khalid Abdullah, is being inducted into the Qipco British Champions Series Hall of Fame, in recognition of his exceptional contribution to the sport.
Prince Khalid has been recognised within the special contributor category, making him the second person to receive this honour after the late Queen Elizabeth II. His Juddmonte operation is responsible for some of the best thoroughbreds in racing, including Frankel, Dancing Brave, Kingman and Enable. These famous green and pink silks have been worn by a host of stars and continue to show their firepower in the sport year after year.
The Impact Of Prince Khalid On Horse Racing
Prince Khalid was an owner-breeder like no other, and his numerous cherished champions, including perhaps the greatest thoroughbred of them all, Frankel, have cemented his place in horse racing history. Douglas Erskine Crum, Chief Executive of Juddmonte, paid tribute to Prince Khalid, acknowledging his contributions to the sport and his legacy as one of the greatest owner-breeders of all time. With his passing, the horse racing world has lost a true legend. Prince Khalid Abdullah, who has sadly passed away, has been honoured by being inducted into the Qipco British Champions Series Hall of Fame. This is in recognition of his exceptional contribution to the sport.
"Through his racing and breeding operation Juddmonte, the prince has left a legacy which, now under the direction of his sons, Prince Fahad, Prince Saud and Prince Ahmed, continues to have a massive influence on the sport globally, at the same time as giving great pleasure and entertainment to his family."
The Ebor Festival at York will be starting with the prince's induction, which is also the day of the Juddmonte International race that the organization has been backing since 1989.
