Mohaymen To Remain At Shadwell’s Kentucky Farm In 2022

Shadwell Farm's multiple graded stakes winner and promising Freshman Sire Mohaymen will stand at their Nashwan Stud facility in Lexington, Ky. for the upcoming breeding season.

Through mid-October, the 8-year-old son of Tapit is the sire of two stakes winners, including graded stakes winner Elm Drive (G2 Sorrento Stakes), 11 winners (six in debut) and 12 placed from 35 starters to date. Ranking among the top 10 first year sires, Mohaymen will stand for $7,500 live foal.

2016 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile-G1 winner and 2nd Crop Sire Tamarkuz will be standing at Blue Ridge Farm in Opelousas, La., for a fee of $5,000 live foal.

Among the first crop success for the $1.8 million-earning son of Speightstown is the graded stakes winner Red Flag and yearlings which sold up to $280,000. A half-brother to G1 St. James's Palace Stakes winner Without Parole and stakes winner She's Got You, Tamarkuz is represented by two stakes horses in 2021.

The multiple graded stakes winner Qurbaan, also by Speightstown, will stand the upcoming season at the Indiana Stallion Station in Anderson, Ind., for a fee of $2,500.

Undefeated at two, Qurbaan won or placed in nine graded stakes, including back-to-back editions of Saratoga's G2 Bernard Baruch Handicap and also was Grade 1-placed three times. His first foals arrived this year.

Shadwell Stud To Conduct Full Review Of Global Operations

The global racing and breeding enterprise – the vision of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who passed away in March this year – announces that it is undertaking a full review of all its activities that will result in important changes for the business.

As a result, its operations in the U.K., Ireland and the U.S. will contract, with a focus on quality and competition at the highest level of the sport with horses of the calibre of Baaeed and Malathaat.

A number of horses in training and homebred yearlings will be sold this autumn, while its broodmare band will be further reduced through dispersals at key auctions over the coming months.

The family wish to stress that they remain extremely passionate about the sport and through the chairmanship of Sheikha Hissa, herself an accomplished horsewoman, are committed to ensuring that their father's legacy endures for many years to come. They intend to retain a significant number of homebred foals and will continue their global stallion operations.

Chris Kennard, the U.K. director of Shadwell Estate Company Ltd, said: “As part of a long-term plan for Shadwell to operate on a sustainable footing, a recent decision has been made to contract the size of the global business. This will involve the imminent sale of a substantial number of horses – including yearlings, horses in training and breeding stock, and in due course, a reorganization of each of the worldwide operations.”

European Champion, Breeders’ Cup Classic Runner Up Sakhee Euthanized At 24

Shadwell legend Sakhee, crowned Europe's champion older horse in 2001, was put down on Friday due to the infirmities of old age. He was 24.

Sakhee was bred by the late Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum and was the best performer sired by Queen Elizabeth II Stakes winner Bahri. He was one of eight winners out of the Sadler's Wells mare Thawakib, whose biggest success came in the Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot.

After being born and raised at Sheikh Hamdan's Shadwell Farm in Kentucky, it was only fitting that Sakhee was sent to Arundel to be trained by John Dunlop, as he had overseen the careers of both Bahri and Thawakib.

Sakhee scored in two of his three starts at two, but it was during his classic season at three that he really began to thrive.

Victories in the G3 Classic Trial at Sandown and G2 Dante Stakes at York were followed by an agonizing second-place finish in the Derby, in which he was headed in the final 150 yards by Sinndar.

Sakhee was transferred to the yard of Saeed bin Suroor to carry the colors of Godolphin at four. He developed into Europe's leading middle-distance horse with a pair of top-flight wins in the Juddmonte International, in which he beat Grandera by seven lengths, and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, in which he blitzed his rivals who included Aquarelliste, Golan and Milan. His margin of success at Paris was an impressive six lengths.

He concluded his 3-year-old campaign at Belmont Park in the Breeders' Cup Classic and after a ding-dong battle with Tiznow in the home stretch, he was denied by just a nose to finish second.

Sakhee made a winning reappearance at Nad Al Sheba at five before finishing third to Street Cry in the Dubai World Cup. He ended his career that season having amassed total prize-money of £2,207,096.

Sakhee was retired to Nunnery Stud for the 2003 breeding season.

Although he did not replicate his brilliance on the racecourse in the breeding shed, he still sired several leading lights headed by Sakhee's Secret, whose biggest triumph came in the G1 July Cup, in which he beat Dutch Art by half a length under a power-packed ride from Steve Drowne.

He was also responsible for Luca Cumani's globetrotting Group 1 winner Presvis, whose career yielded more than £4 million in prize-money, and the Poule d'Essai des Poulains hero Tin Horse.

Sakhee had been living out a happy retirement at Nunnery Stud since his retirement from breeding at the end of 2016. He will be much missed by everyone in the Shadwell operation.
