Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum, a leading owner-breeder in Britain and member of the ruling family of Dubai, died on Monday. Sheikh Mohammed Obaid has enjoyed significant success over the past 30 years, much of it thanks to his Classic-winning filly Zomaradah, who proved a wonderful broodmare, most notably as the dam of Dubawi. The latter, from the sole crop of Dubai Millennium, raced in the colours of his cousin Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's Godolphin operation, winning three Group 1 races including the Irish 2,000 Guineas before becoming a stallion of international repute and Darley's first champion sire of Britain and Ireland. More recently, Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's most influential broodmare has been the outstanding matron Reem Three. Her many winners include the G1 Queen Anne Stakes victor and now young Darley sire Triple Time, who has recently been joined at Dalham Hall Stud by Reem Three's grandsons Rosallion and Inisherin, both of whom were Group 1 winners in 2024. During another successful year on the track with his runners, Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's horses have notched 40 wins in Britain in 2025, including 13 stakes victories. Most recently, his homebred Royal Champion won the G2 Bahrain International Trophy for Karl Burke, who is one of four trainers in Britain currently on the roster for the prominent owner, along with Richard Hannon, Kevin Ryan and George Boughey. The latter trains the unbeaten two-year-old Bow Echo, winner of the G2 Royal Lodge Stakes in September. Rosallion, winner of last year's Irish 2,000 Guineas as well as the St James's Palace Stakes, was the most recent Classic winner for Sheikh Mohammed Obaid on a list which includes Derby winner High-Rise and the aforementioned Zomaradah, winner of the Oaks d'Italia. He also owned and bred the 2023 Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup winner Without A Fight, and was the owner of Postponed, winner of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Juddmonte International among his four Group 1 victories. This story is being updated.

We have asked some of racing's best and brightest what they think racing will be like in 2036. Here are some submissions from our readers. Thoroughbred Racing in 2036: Building a Smarter, Safer Future By 2036, Thoroughbred racing may look markedly different from the sport of today. The industry is entering a period of transition shaped by technology, safety reform, digital fan engagement, and growing expectations around responsibility and transparency. Rather than abandoning its history, racing appears to be learning from it and building forward. One of the most significant changes on the horizon is the move toward national consistency. Long defined by state-by-state fragmentation, the sport may soon operate under a clearer and more unified framework, with standardized medication rules, licensing, and enforcement. For bettors and fans, this consistency is not just a regulatory shift but a foundation for greater trust. Technology is also reshaping the equine athletic experience. Wearable biometrics, AI-driven injury prediction, and advanced imaging could become routine tools in training and veterinary care. These innovations point toward a world where careers are longer, catastrophic injuries decline, and training decisions are based on measurable data rather than guesswork. The fan experience is changing as well. By 2036, racing may blend sport and entertainment in new ways: augmented reality race views, helmet-camera livestreams, micro-betting options, and personalized data displays. Races will feel less like one-minute events and more like interactive broadcasts built for modern viewing habits. Breeding and aftercare are entering a new era of accountability. Regional incentive networks, data-driven stallion selection, and funding models tied to purses or wagering suggest a more sustainable pipeline one that prioritizes soundness on the front end and structured retirement pathways on the back end. Finally, transparency may become racing's most valuable currency. Public veterinary reporting, open stewards' rulings, and standardized safety communication can change both perception and reality. In 2036, trust will not be assumed it will be earned. If these trends continue, Thoroughbred racing in 2036 will not be defined by nostalgia or crisis management. Instead, it may be defined by clarity, progress, and a renewed commitment to horse and human welfare. The fundamentals of the sport remain unchanged: heart, speed, and competition. What evolves is everything surrounding it and that evolution may be what allows the sport to endure. –Tashua Antoinette, University of Arizona Racetrack Industry Program student Joe Carr, Equine Risk Management Group and Associates, Lexington, Ky. The crystal ball is boiling! Bring all the energy and opportunity ahead. In 2036, the horse racing landscape will be transformed into an experience-based industry. The ball says that our signature events will explode. Those events will be decided by the level of the customer experience. The sky is the limit. The middle class globally is expanding and focusing on this will make 2036 exciting.

well having a look it seems across the 2 days they had seven starters for 1 win with the House and Hope stables with a fairly similar result. you'd go broke backing them too lol 😁💰 some 'rough horses run at Westport lol.🤣 Hey I did see one of 'Bootsies' horses that he purchased after it won it's last start in NZ 2 years ago at Westport Dec 2023 exactly 2 years ago , won the 'Shirley Turnbull Memorial ' at Bathhurst last Friday night. almost 2 years to the day after his final NZ run (and win at Westport) You blokes won't remember the horse, but DONEGAL LUTHER at a rather juicy 50-1 odds too, won the Feature listed race for trainer/driver Amanda Turnbull , defeating the star pacer the Interdominion finalist 'Captain's Knock' into 2nd who had won it's past 6 starts, and the Grand old Bootsie horse SWAYZEE , the double NZ Cup winner , in for 3rd. Mick Boots must of bought near 100 NZ horses over the past 3 years (after the success of Swayzee and Betterzippit) and has them with 17 different trainers across the land. and NZ too , where he still races Captain's Mistress at Nathan's down south there for example. A Westport winning horse like DONEGAL LUTHER can earn about 100k here in country NSW per year in the right hands . he had only won 2 races last year 2024, but 2025 he got going a bit better and has won 7 from 20 starts this year to win 100k. some were at Menangle too.
