Introduced to [[Thoroughbred]] [[flat racing]] while a student in the [[United Kingdom]], Sheikh Hamdan established his first racing stable there in 1981. Over the years he has invested heavily in both racing and breeding and has acquired major operations in [[England]], [[Ireland]] and the [[United States]].▼

He owns eight stud farms worldwide containing over 200 regally bred mares and many top stallions. Six of these are in the county of Suffolk, England, three near Thetford – Nunnery, Melton and Snarehill Studs – plus the Salsabil Stud near Bury St. Edmunds, Elmswell Park Stud and Beech House Stud just outside Newmarket. The other two are Derrinstown Stud in [[Maynooth]], [[County Kildare]], [[Ireland]] and the 3200 acre Shadwell Farm near [[Lexington, Kentucky]].▼

The Nunnery Stud is where the whole British breeding operation is controlled and currently standing there are Eqtidaar, Muharaar, Mukhadaram and Tasleet. In the past legendary stallions such as Green Desert, Nashwan, Unfuwain, Haafhd, Nayef and Sakhee also stood there. Beech House Stud is used as a base for Shadwell's private mares, both Thoroughbred and Arabian. The paddocks are also used to winter the private Arabian young stock before they are broken in at Snarehill. Elmswell Park Stud and Salsabil Stud are located deep in the Suffolk countryside. These operations together look after Sheikh Hamdan's private mares. It is here that the mares are cared for prior to foaling, and then once they have foaled they stay until they return to Ireland with their foals in the late summer. The quiet surroundings of Salsabil Stud are ideal for the mares and foals at this early stage of the foals' development. The Snarehill Stud is used as a base for breaking in the young Thoroughbreds. It is also used for rest and rehabilitation for horses in training. Finally there is Melton Paddocks which was originally the public stud before the building of the Nunnery Stud, but now it houses the Arabian stallions.

The Derrinstown Stud currently stands Awtaad, Haatef, Markaz and Tamayuz.
This investment has translated to great success on the race track. He was the [[British flat racing Champion Owner]] in 1990, 1995, 2002, and 2005. He has enjoyed over 50 Group 1 wins in Europe in addition to big race success in America, Australia and Dubai. His leading horses have ranged from sprinting champions such as Dayjur and Hamas, champion milers like Lahib and Bahri to great middle
In England he currently has approximately 200 horses in training spread over a number of trainers including [[Michael Stoute]], [[Owen Burrows (racehorse trainer)|Owen Burrows]], [[John Gosden]], [[William Haggas]], [[Marcus Tregoning]], [[Ed Dunlop]] and [[Mark Johnston (racehorse trainer)|Mark Johnston]]. In the past he sent horses with great success to [[Dick Hern]], Michael Jarvis, Barry Hills, Alec Stewart, John Dunlop and [[Harry Thomson Jones]]. In Ireland he has sent his horses for many years to Kevin Prendergrast and [[Dermot Weld]] and likewise in France to [[Freddy Head]]. In the United States, [[Kiaran McLaughlin]] is a trainer for Sheikh Hamdan's stable. [[David A. Hayes]] conditions horses for the sheikh in Australia. In the UAE American trainer Doug Watson is responsible for the sheikh's runners at the Dubai carnival.
In England he currently has [[Jim Crowley (jockey)|Jim Crowley]] as his retained jockey. In the 1980s and 1990s, [[Willie Carson]] won many big races for Shadwell most famously on Nashwan and Salsabil.
In late 2005, his Shadwell Stable acquired the [[Argentina]]-bred and [[Uruguay]]-owned racehorse [[Invasor (horse)|Invasor]] and brought him to race in the United States. Invasor won several major [[graded stakes race]]s including the 2006 [[Breeders' Cup Classic]] and was voted the U.S. [[Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year|Horse of the Year]] and ranked No.1 in the [[World Thoroughbred Racehorse Rankings]]. He won them the Dubai World Cup but was retired in June 2007 following a non-life-threatening training injury and now stands as a stallion at Shadwell Farm in [[Kentucky]]. Shadwell Stables won the [[Eclipse Award]] for [[Eclipse Award for Outstanding Owner|Outstanding Owner]] of 2007 thanks to the efforts of Invasor and leading filly Lahudood.
