(Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021) – The following is a statement from Churchill Downs Racetrack President Mike Anderson on the passing of prominent Thoroughbred owner and breeder Prince Khalid bin Abdullah of Juddmonte Farms, who died Tuesday. “Thoroughbred racing and breeding icons like Prince Khalid bin Abdullah are few and far between. For decades, the Juddmonte Farms racing and breeding operation has represented top-class on an international stage thanks to the vision and dedication of Prince Khalid. His unforgettable pink, green and white silks made numerous trips to the Churchill Downs winner’s circle with regally-bred horses – from 2001 Kentucky Oaks winner Flute to 2018 Breeders’ Cup Turf champion Enable – and they are fondly remembered by the Churchill Downs family as part of his significant legacy.” – Churchill Downs Racetrack President Mike Anderson.
