From Nashwan to Battaash: Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum’s greatest horses

Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum has died at the age of 75. He had been involved in horse racing for over four decades.

Nashwan won the 2000 Guineas, the Derby, Eclipse and the King George in 1989. He was aiming for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, but he was beaten in his trial, Prix Niel, and did not run again.

Salsabil won the 1000 Guineas and the Oaks in 1990 and defeated Quest For Fame in the Irish Derby. John Dunlop has called her the best horse he has ever trained.

Dayjur won the Nunthorpe, Haydock Sprint Cup and the Prix de l’Abbaye in 1990. He was beaten in the Breeders‘ Cup Sprint at Belmont Park by Safely Kept.

Sakhee is one of Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum's greatest horses. He won the Juddmonte International and Arc at four and finished second in the 2000 Derby to Sinndar and the Eclipse.

Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum's horse Erhaab won the 1994 Dante and Derby. He was third in the Eclipse and seventh in King George.

Taghrooda was a brilliant filly who showed she could mix it against the colts. She shot to prominence in the Pretty Polly on her three-year-old bow and then won the King George.

Taghrooda won the 2014 Oaks for Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum. She also won King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes later that year for the legendary owner.

Invasor was purchased by Sheikh Hamdan after winning the Uruguay Triple Crown. He won four Grade One races in 2006 and one in February of the following year. In February 2013 he won the Dubai World Cup.

Nayef is Nashwan's half-brother. He won the Champion Stakes at the age of four and finished third in the Dubai World Cup at five. He also won Prince of Wales’s Stake at Royal Ascot at age five and has won three Group Three races since.

Bahri finished third in both the English and Irish 2000 Guineas and the St James’s Palace Stakes. He was narrowly beaten by Sayyedati in the Sussex Stake and tried a mile and a quarter in Juddmonte International. At Ascot he won the QEII.

Battaash is a sprinter trained by Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum. He won the King George Stakes at Glorious Goodwood four years in a row.

Bataash won the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes at York in 2019.
