  • Longines Turf Winner Notes- Owner, Aga Khan
    H.H. Aga Khan Born: Dec. 13, 1936, Geneva, Switzerland Family: Children, Rahim Aga Khan, Zahra Aga Khan, Aly Muhammad Aga Khan, Hussain Aga Khan Breeders’ Cup Record: 15-2-0-2 | $3,447,400 • Billionaire, philanthropist and spiritual leader, Prince Karim Aga Khan IV is also well known as an owner and breeder of Thoroughbreds. • Has two previous Breeders’ Cup winners – Lashkari (GB), captured the inaugural running of Turf (G1) in 1984 and Kalanisi (IRE) won 2000 edition of race. • This year, is targeting the $4 million Longines Turf with his good European filly Tarnawa (IRE), who was also cross-entered for the $2 million Maker’s Mark Filly & Mare Turf (G1) after earning an automatic entry via the Breeders’ Cup Challenge “Win & You’re In” series upon winning Longines Prix de l’Opera (G1) Oct. 4 at Longchamp. Perfect in three 2020 starts, the homebred also won Prix Vermeille (G1) in September. • Powerhouse on the international racing stage. Has won the Epsom Derby five times, including the record 10-length victory in 1981 by the ill-fated Shergar (GB), who was famously kidnapped and never found. In 2000, Sinndar (IRE) became the first horse to win Epsom Derby, Irish Derby (G1) and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (G1) the same season. In 2008, his brilliant unbeaten filly Zarkava (IRE) won the Arc and was named Europe’s Cartier Horse of the Year. • Trainers include Ireland-based Dermot Weld, Michael Halford and beginning in 2021 former Irish champion jockey Johnny Murtagh, who rode Kalanisi to his Breeders’ Cup win, and France-based Alain de Royer-Dupre, Jean-Claude Rouget, Mikel Delzangles and Francis-Henri Graffard • Almost exclusively races homebreds but is ever keen to acquire new bloodlines, evidenced by acquisition of the late Francois Dupre's stock in 1977, the late Marcel Boussac’s in 1978 and Jean-Luc Lagardere’s in 2005.

    LONGCHAMP - 04 October Race 1 1. ST MARK'S BASILICA - Third in the G1 Vincent O'Brien National Stakes at the Curragh over 1400m after jumping slowly. Has to be respected as Aidan O'Brien's sole representative. 2. SEALIWAY - Second in the G3 Prix la Rochette over course and distance beaten 1L. The fourth has boosted this form since winning at Listed level. 3. LAWS OF INDICES - Failed to gain a clear run when seventh beaten 5.75L in the G1 1400m Vincent O'Brien National Stakes in Ireland. Previously a G2 winner and could be worth another try. 4. CAIRN GORM - Sixth beaten 5L in the G2 Mill Reef Stakes over 1200m at Newbury. Stepping up in trip. 5. NANDO PARRADO - Second in the G1 Prix Morny over 1200m at Deauville beaten 2L. Previously won the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and holds big claims. 6.
