A hugely successful and influential owner and breeder.

Shadwell is deeply saddened by the passing of Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum, a hugely successful and influential owner and breeder. He will be long remembered throughout international horse racing for his extraordinary contributions to the sport.

A passionate supporter of racing, Sheikh Mohammed Obaid achieved significant and regular success at the very highest level. Famous Group 1 winners to have carried his iconic yellow and black silks include High-Rise, Postponed, Rosallion, Inisherin, Triple Time, Without A Fight, Fonteyn, Defoe, and Zomaradah, among many others.

Zomaradah, the dam of the breed-shaping stallion Dubawi, along with Reem Three, are two particularly outstanding broodmares owned by Sheikh Mohammed Obaid. Both mares stand as highly influential matriarchs in the modern thoroughbred and are destined to leave a lasting legacy on the breed.

Everyone connected with the Shadwell operation extends their sincere condolences to all of Sheikh Mohammed Obaid’s family and friends. Our thoughts are with them during this profoundly sad time.
