Encyclopedia
Shadwell Racing is the Thoroughbred
horse racing
operations of Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum
, Deputy Ruler of Dubai
.
Introduced to Thoroughbred
flat racing
while a student in the United Kingdom
, Sheikh Hamdan established his first racing stable there in 1981. Over the years he has invested heavily in both racing and breeding and has acquired major operations in England
, Ireland
and the United States
.
He owns eight stud farms worldwide containing over 200 regally bred mares and many top stallions. Six of these are in the county of Suffolk, England, three near Thetford – Nunnery, Melton and Snarehill Studs – plus the Salsabil Stud near Bury St. Edmunds, Elmswell Park Stud and Beech House Stud just outside Newmarket. The other two are Derrinstown Stud in Maynooth
, County Kildare
, Ireland
and the 1350 acres (5.5 km²) Shadwell Farm near Lexington, Kentucky
.
The Nunnery Stud is where the whole British breeding operation is controlled and currently standing there are Aqlaam, Nayef, Mawatheeq, Haafhd and Sakhee. In the past Nashwan, Green Desert and Unfuwain also stood there. Beech House Stud is used as a base for Shadwell’s private mares, both Thoroughbred and Arabian. The paddocks are also used to winter the private Arabian young stock before they are broken in at Snarehill. Elmswell Park Stud and Salsabil Stud are located deep in the Suffolk countryside. These operations together look after Sheikh Hamdan's private mares. It is here that the mares are cared for prior to foaling, and then once they have foaled they stay until they return to Ireland with their foals in the late summer. The quiet surroundings of Salsabil Stud are ideal for the mares and foals at this early stage of the foals' development. The Snarehill Stud is used as a base for breaking the young Thoroughbreds. It is also used for rest and rehabilitation for horses in training. Finally there is Melton Paddocks which was originally the public stud before the building of the Nunnery Stud, but now it houses the Arabian stallions.
The Shadwell Farm in Lexington, Kentucky was constructed in 1991. At the farm's stallion division, Nashwan Stud, currently stand Albertus Maximus, Daaher, Intidab, Invasor, Jazil and Mustanfar.
The Derrinstown Stud in Ireland prides itself on being purposely designed with the very latest facilities taking advantage of the limestone-rich pastures and soft rains of County Kildare for the rearing of horses. The stud currently stands Alhaarth, Arcano, Elnadim, Haatef, Intikhab and Tamayuz.
This investment has translated to great success on the race track. He was the British flat racing Champion Owner
in 1990, 1995, 2002, and 2005. He has enjoyed over 50 Group 1 wins in Europe in addition to big race success in America, Australia and Dubai. His leading horses have ranged from sprinting champions such as Dayjur and Hamas, champion milers like Lahib and Bahri to great middle distance runners such as Nashwan, Unfuwain
, Haafhd
, Nayef (horse)
, Jazil and Invasor. This is in addition to racing several classic winning fillies who have gone on to be great broodmares. The most famous being Salsabil who topped winning the Epsom Oaks by beating the colts in the Irish Derby. Shadwell's most famous broodmare is Height of Fashion who was sold by Queen Elizabeth II to Sheikh Hamdan Al-Maktoum after setting a new course record in the Princess of Wales' Stakes. She was the dam of Nashwan, Nayef and Unfuwain. She is also the grand dam of Ghanaati through her daughter Sarayir.
In England he currently has approximately 200 horses in training spread over a number of trainers including Michael Stoute, Michael Jarvis, John Dunlop, Barry Hills, John Gosden, William Haggas, Marcus Tregoning, Ed Dunlop and Mark Johnston. In the past he sent horses with great success to Dick Hern
, Alec Stewart and Harry Thomson Jones
. In Ireland he has sent his horses for many years to Kevin Prendergrast and Dermot Weld and likewise in France to Freddy Head. In the United States, Kiaran McLaughlin
is a trainer for Sheikh Hamdan's stable. David A. Hayes conditions horses for the sheikh in Australia. In the UAE American trainer Doug Watson is responsible for the sheikh's runners at the Dubai carnival.
In England he currently has two retained jockeys in Richard Hills and Tadhg O'Shea. In the 1980s and 1990s Willie Carson won many big races for Shadwell most famously on Nashwan and Salsabil.
In late 2005, his Shadwell Stable acquired the Argentina
