Khalid Abdulla's Top 20 Racehorses 

Dancing brave in the arc sprinting past all them group 1 winners was unbelievable,,best flat race ever for me

There wasn’t a better performance on the day against top class opposition than Dancing Brave

Try and put that lot in any sort of order incredible amount of great horses ! But for me Dancing Brave comes in first because I remember him as a 2yr old and I was so excited about seeing him as a 3 yr old he never met me down a blistering turn of foot and full of class smashing up the french was a great day in British horse racing.

Dancing brave on that day was just a flying machine, 8 group 1 winners in a line and he took off and flew past.

Dancing Brave was the complete classical horse, winning the Arc, Eclipse Stakes, King George and the 2000 Guineas, so from 1600 - 2400m, while the unbeaten Frankel was limited to 2000 m.

1.... Dancing Brave 2..... Frankel 3......Enable... Nice Vid

I was in Paris when Dancing Brave won the Arc. I will never forget how the French fans were cheering their horse, Bering, before Eddery brought DB wide. Great day, great memory, but Frankel was different class. Timeform rarely make a mistake.

Some unbelievable top draw horses with Dancing Brave and Frankel raising the bar to magical heights

There can't be many people lucky enough to own so many wonderful horses ever!!

Some absolute superstars owned by a very sporting owner - he will be sorely missed.

All great horses and champions in there own right, but it is dancing brave for me what a superb horse but it was all down to the genius and vision of mr Khalid Abdullah rest in peace 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

Dancing brave the greatest ever, machine

Dancing Brave quickening pace is so Unbelievable....👍👍👍

RIP Prince Khalid Abdullah

This is a brilliant video great to see the old horses in there too my uncle Dave looked after Known Fact and Rainbow Quest so they always are fond memories

Frankel and Dancing Brave probably KA's greatest, and among the all-time top half dozen

All the horses are Legendary 🎉❤🎉😊

There's a difference between who was the best horse and who put in the best performance in my opinion. I remember that day that Warning won, on that day he absolutely hammered a top class field. Frankel and Enable are and were brilliant horses mind you.

Thank you so much Amazing moments .. Amazing races .. Immortal heroes I think Kingman's race at Goodwood should be here Lots of heroes have not seen them .. like the ROUSILLON and WARNING .. I'm really happy to watch them. Prince Khalid Abdullah made a glorious history with horse racing .. Certainly he is change the racing. For me, Frankel is the best at all times. Thanks again.

Wow...what a fantastic trip down memory lane, watching many, who remain some of my all time favourites. For me, it will always be tight between Frankel and Dancing Brave for different reasons. The way Frankel won the 2000 G's was by far, one of the most extraordinary performances I've ever seen in a classic....and then Dancing Brave in the Arc....absolutely electrifying, against arguably, the strongest Arc field ever. My top 5 list.... Frankel/Dancing Brave Enable Warning Rainbow Quest

Dancing Brave is the greatest racehorse ever...and I was also a huge fan of Frankel

Brilliant watching these old race's Pat Eddrey was a brilliant jockey me Dad always backed him good memories

Frankel the one and only...

Agree 💯 about warning tremendous turn of foot super horse as was a ball of speed 😊

Distant View in the Sussex Stakes in 94 was very underated

It was literally yesterday I was discussing how many brilliant horses K Abdullah has had and how lucky he'd been. I was a die hard Dancing Brave fan and he was really the first horse that sparked my interest in the sport. I would have argued to the end he was the best I'd seen, that was until Frankel came along and I had to sadly admit the great horse had been eclipsed by what was in my opinion a freak that has never and will never be rivaled. That said there are some fantastic horses in this list, Warning was a favourite from my early days, Rainbow Quest was such a sweet travelling horse and Zafonic was a monster on his Day. In recent years I think Kingman was probably under rated and would have given any horse on this list at least something to think about over a mile. Great list, great memories and here's hoping Enable wins another KG on Saturday.

You pulled up a lot of devils here ! Thank you very much for that.

It was a top class QE11 that warning won doing handsprings but frankels achievements through three seasons will never be matched.

Frankel an absolute monster - one day we might see a horse his equal but I don't know when that will be

Love these old races i had £200 on dancing brave on arc as 16yr old boy.thought I was a millionaire. Pity it was over the top in breederscup' favourite horse of all time keep ure frankel

Warning was underatted, would have won the guineas if not injured....

Dancing Brave, Frankel and Enable in that order top 3

They (Juddmonte) must be the best of this century and maybe last - so many champions on this list. Think of all the stars who didn't even make the list, like Sightseek (who should definitely be on there), Twice Over, Ventura, Tates Creek, Intercontinental and Heat Haze.

Great vid

Great stuff,. Wot a journey. Great to see pat eddery in his pomp !! How can we pick??. Go on then,. Zafonic in the Guinneas. Xx

Just sent my dad this video and he’s loving it but said many greats have been forgotten. He just sent me a video of ‘Xaar - 1997 Dewhurst’. Had no luck in running but put that race to bed with minimum fuss.

Great ride on Observatory, fast, late and wide, didn’t give the Giant a chance to fight back. Only way the horse was getting beaten bar getting the reins tangled...

Dancing brave no 1

Saved the best for last, zafonic was something really special

Zafonic probably the most underrated racehorse of all time that horse was up there with the best along with commander and chief also underrated

Great list. But Juddmonte had two runners in the US who definitely belong: Sightseek, and Tinner's Way.

Dancing brave in my eyes then Enable because frankle never ran outside this country and beat the same horses now kingman was special arrogate won a breeders cup race

Frankel did not run in the ARC or the BREEDERS cup Dancing Brave did and won the ARC. The only reason that he lost the Derby was Greville Starky rode him wrong, he made very late headway and lost by a whisker to Sharatani

Zafonic was the best of them all,,frankel was a beast but he kept beating an average bunch over and over,,zafonic made true greats of the flat look like statues.

Was that the one and only time Kris was beaten?

1Frankel. 2Dancing Brave. 3Enable. It’s about Frankel’s body of work. That horse just got too valuable to risk but he would’ve cruised The King George and The Arc, there were no horses on the planet that could’ve upset him...Dancing Brave’s Arc was wonderful. Enable’s Arcs and Breeder’s legendary....But it was front page news if Frankel won by less than six lengths!!!...all comers humbled.

Frankel

Most of those horses had one or two great performance that marked them out as a great, for me for a long time Dancing Brave was Abdullah's best horse (even though in my opinion his Arc win wasn't his best performance as he beat the iron mare Triptych by much further in both that year's Eclipse & King George). Frankel's consistent brilliance at 2 (Royal Lodge), 3 (2000g, Sussex St & QE2) and 4 (Lockinge, Queen Anne St, Sussex St, Juddmonte) left me in no doubt that he is now the best horse Abdullah has owned (he even said it himself when asked) and for those who think he beat an average bunch of horses should remember he beat 23 individual G1 winners who had amassed 50 G1 wins in total - he had a cummulative winning distance of 76L. He was a freak of a horse which is borne out by his 11L Queen Anne win over 8 furlongs (for which he got his 147 Timeform rating) which saw him clocked at 10.58 sec for his third last furlong, which just so happened to be quicker than any of the sprinters achieved in the whole of the five furlong King’s Stand Stakes run on the same day.

Pat Eddery rowing away 😎

Kingman Missing here

Missing Bellotto and Xaar for me

The best horse ever is Frankel, no debate. The best horse from the past is dancing brave no doubt.

Watch frankels guineas

Danehill

Arrogate, Enable and Frankel are the best racehorses ❤️🖤

Too bad Frankel was never brought to the States. But Frankel would not have made the 12 furlong distance of the BCTurf. If Frankel ran in the mile, it would still not be worth it bec top champions don’t win the Mile; they win the BC Turf.

Mm hi

When you think about khakid abdullla has easily had the best horses ever and you. Oils say enable frankel dancing brave would be in any top 5 or maybe too 3 of all time and then you have zafonic one of the best Guineas winners ever . Also liked xaar has a two year old who should have done better has a 3 year old .

Over a mile and a quarter and a mile and a half Dancing Brave for me. Over a mile Zafonic as at his best could see him picking Frankel off.

Should be harwood loaded Starkey is God

your missing 'zafonic'

I often wonder what drugs they use on their horses in america

Nashwan

The superb and overrated frankel

Dancing Brave would have beaten Enable by 5
