Shaadi (20 May 1986 – 8 January 2008) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He showed very promising form as a two-year-old in 1988 when he won both of his races. In the following year he won the Craven Stakes but then ran very poorly in the 2000 Guineas. He produced his best form in his next two races, recording decisive wins in the Irish 2000 Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes. He was unplaced in his two remaining races and was retired from racing at the end of the season. He stood as a breeding stallion in Europe and Japan, having limited success as a sire of winners.
Shaadi was a dark-coated bay horse with two white socks, bred in Kentucky by Edward A Cox, Jr. He was an unusually late foal, being born on 20 May 1986. His sire Danzig, who ran only three times before his career was ended by injury, was a highly successful stallion who sired the winners of more than fifty Grade I/Group One races. His offspring include the champions Chief's Crown, Dayjur and Lure as well as the important stallion Danehill. Shaadi's dam Unfurled won one race and also produced the successful American sprinter Pleasure Cay and the Cheveley Park Stakes winner Regal Rose. She was a granddaughter of the broodmare Miel, whose other descendants have included Rodrigo de Triano and the Australian champion Snippets.
As a yearling was consigned to the Keenland Select sale in July 1987 and was bought for $900,000 by Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud Management. The colt was sent to Europe where he was sent into training with Michael Stoute at Newmarket, Suffolk. He was ridden in all but one of his races by Walter Swinburn.
