Aga Khan, one of the most famous proteins in the race race-which includes the long champions of Sherjar-over the age of 88.
Born in December 13, 1936, His Highness Prince Karim Agha Khan, the son of Prince Ali Khan and his first wife, Princess Tajdalh Agha Khan, had previously Joan Yardi Polar.
Aga Khan spent his early years in Kenya, before he attended an internal school worldwide in Switzerland and moved to Harvard, where he was studying when he became the spiritual leader of the Ismaili Muslims at the death of his grandfather in 1957, at the age of 20 only.
His family had already enjoyed great success in the races, as his grandfather owned at least five winners in Derby in Blainheim (1930), Bahram (1935), Mahmoud (1936), my love (1948) and Tulnar (1952), while the effect His influence is still his great horse, Momsaz Mahl, which prevails in the blood of Aja Khan today.
Aga Khan inherited the race interests from his father after his death in a car accident in May 1960, with Feli star and dual classic winner Petit Etwell from among those who moved to his ownership.
Aga Khan IV died at the age of 88.
In the seventies of the last century, Aga Khan re -equipped horse equipment, building a new nail in Normandy, Harras de Bonifal, in 1973 before the opening of the Aiglemont complex in Shantlei after five years.
The estate includes a training center on 100 boxes, and AGA Khan was conducted on the famous Shato, where AGA Khan and a office were conducted where its commercial interests were carried out all over the world, which included an airline, hotels and charitable business.
The Aga Khan Blood Empire was built in Homebreds, although it was installed new blood along the way by obtaining the late Francois Dupre stock in 1977, and the late Marcel Busac in 1978 and Jean -Luc Lacarderi in 2005, reaping rich rewards with Stallion Linamix between the last batch of purchases.
Adding the new contestants in the late 1970s led to a return to the race in England to Aga Khan, who campaign the contestants in France to that point, where Sir Michael Stout and Falk Johnston Hugton handed over some of the Blueblods.
The 1979 draft contained Stoute on the most famous horse ever to connect green and red silk in the form of Sherjar, the winter of the fateful derby, which is the stimulus Epsom Victor with 10 lengths in 1981 and the first five of these winners.
There was more Epsom and Aga Khan's glory in 1986, where Shahstani was apparently resistant to brave dance.
But Agha Khan's love relationship with the British race stopped when he was excluded in his obsessive, Elisa, from oak in 1989 after his positive test of camphor, a banned substance.
After a long battle with Al -Faris Club, Agha Khan – whose daughter, Princess Zahra Agha Khan was also a successful owner – withdrew all his horses from Britain in response to what he felt he had failed in the British test system, with Strot and Luka Communi lost a large part of their chains as a result of the decision.
Finally, he ended his boycott imposed on himself from the British race in Royal Ascot in 1995, before he again sent horses to train them by Cumani and Stote, with the future champion Kalanisi and Derby II Daliapour apparently reinforces a renewed relationship with Cumani, who trained to him 1988 Derby Victor Kahyasi.
However, their interconnection with the sudden stop in 2000 when two of the owner's horses re -trained it by Kumani positive tests, prompting him to remove 30 horses from the Italian -based Italian.
Continue to get horses with Stoute, but the interests of Aga Khan were focusing again in Ireland and France.
In 2008, his great champion, who did not defeat Feli Zarkava, who was trained by Alan de Royer Dobar, won the Prix de L'arc de Triomphe award and called Cartier Horsa for the year. Five years ago, Al -Dalakhani was the trainer on Ruyer in the bow.
In 2013, it was announced that John Oxx will not get a new group of Aga Khan Yearlings – to end the glorious success that included Sinndar that has not forgotten Derby, Irish Derby and Arc Treble in 2000.
Instead, the Irish Aga Khan stars focused with Dermot Weld, who presented a fifth victory in Derby in 2016 with Harzand, who triumphed in a way that could not be under the late Pat Smallin, although he was injured in the race day. Harzand continued to give Aga Khan a fifth Derby and Irish derby when he was registered in Kawraj later in the same month.
Wilde was the one who also produced the last British classic winner in Agha Khan in 2024 Victor Ezelia.

He was also a long -term friend of Queen Elizabeth II, who gave her a skilled appreciation, who achieved a famous success in the gold cup in Royal Ascot – a meeting where the couple was watching together.
Aga Khan was one of the prominent supporters of the Irish race, and he was one of the driving forces behind Curragh, as the plan advanced in 2019 when he joined Taoiseach Leo Varadkar at the time to officially reveal the new Aga Khan position.
Aga Khan survived three sons and daughter.
