The bloodstock world pays tribute to the legendary Khalid Abdullah
Social media response to the death of the Juddmonte supremo
Arguably the most successful breeder of world class racehorses has sadly passed away. Khalid Abdullah and his @JuddmonteFarms operation bred the likes of Frankel, Enable, Oasis Dream and Kingman to name just a few. A sad day and a huge loss to Racing.

I am extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Prince Khalid Abdullah. I feel extremely lucky, and an overwhelming sense of pride, to have partnered just a few of so many superstars bred and raced by one of the most influential and successful owner-breeders in the world. pic.twitter.com/nofaXqLvvF

Racing owes a debt of gratitude to him. A mark of the man was when everyone deserted Sir Henry, he sent the best racehorse he ever bred to him. We can only hope @JuddmonteFarms continues his great work. https://t.co/DDbJ3K2Dy8
