Prince Khalid Abdullah, who has died aged 85, created one of the most remarkable racing empires in the long history of the turf.
Most owner-breeders would count themselves lucky to produce one great horse. Khalid Abdullah's green, pink and white colours (suggested by Lord Weinstock to match the prince's office curtains) were carried by four: the incomparable Frankel, unbeaten in 14 races, including 10 Group 1s; Enable, twice winner of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe; the electrifying Dancing Brave, also an Arc winner and an unlucky loser in the Epsom Derby; and the American horse Arrogate, rated the world best racehorse in 2016 and 2017.
