Owner and breeder Khalid Abdullah, in whose green, white and pink silks the likes of Frankel, Dancing Brave and Enable ran, has died at the age of 83.
One of the leading names on the global racing scene over the last 40 years, Abdullah had over 500 stakes winners including 118 at Group/Grade 1 level.
Just a year after having his first runners in Britain in 1978, Abdullah celebrated his first Group 1 success with Known Fact in the 1979 Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket.
Known Fact went on to become Abdullah s first Classic winner in 1980 after his success in the 2,000 Guineas and the first of the litany of superstars to carry his owner s name.
