Zedan Racing Stables, Inc.

Founded in 2016, Zedan Racing Stables, Inc. is the nom de course of Los Angeles native and Saudi Arabian businessman and philanthropist Amr bin Fareed bin Mohammed bin Zedan. A horse enthusiast, Zedan is a polo player in addition to a racehorse owner, and regularly competes on the international circuit. 

Zedan picked up his first two graded stakes wins as an owner with the filly Princess Noor, who won the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante and the Grade 2 Chandelier Stakes in 2020. Several months later, he sent Robert B. Lewis Stakes winner Medina Spirit to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve on May 1, 2021 and visited the winner's circle on his first trip to Louisville when the colt scored a 12.10-1 upset victory. However, the victory was called into question after Medina Spirit tested positive for betamethasone, a corticosteroid that is banned on race day. Medina Spirit went on to finish third in the Preakness Stakes and in the fall won the Grade 1 Awesome Again Stakes and run second in the Longines Breeders' Cup Classic while the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission conducted a months-long investigation.

On Feb. 21, 2022, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission issued a ruling disqualifying Medina Spirit from first place in the Kentucky Derby and elevating Mandaloun as the winner.
