I do not really follow the flat, but does anyone (excluding perhaps Ballydoyle) have a more expensive string? Almost every horse is regally bred and was bought for 300k+.
He does seem very selective and whilst in comparison with may owners he has a relatively small string, he does always seem to buy at the top end.
He hasn't been involved on the Flat for long so has no breeding stock to buy though I wouldn't be surprised to see him buy a stud in due course as he does seem to spend most on fillies presumably to become mares after racing

I think he bred a few of his NH horses (or at least horses who ended up over sticks) but not sure the operation was at any great scope. Certainly going for it now.

Formally retired from NH ownership this year. Not sure what his publicity says re his flat plans, but should be easily available somewhere. Elderly he may be, but secretive he is not.

Doesnt bother with the flat much either, owns some right expensive goats from what I've seen.........Racing Manager would have been out the door in any other profession imo
