And is there any biograghy for them?
Thanks!

I said, "he just bought Manchester United, the UK soccer team, with a close friend of his." I didn't want to get into the details. John Magnier would be that good friend.Hi there, just to clear up, he doesn't own Man Utd, but in partnership with a guy called John Magnier (Head of the Coolmore Stud) holds a major stake (somewhere in the region of 25% to 30% comes to mind).
I would agree with you. I'd also dare to add calculated aggressive risk taking as his passion.His real passion though is Horse Racing.
Even before Rock of Gibralte, he was rich making quite a name for himself for his streakes as a punter. Still, its a Sure thing he made tones in stud fees after acquiring ROG. I've read from various sources, including interviews he gave, the vast majority of his wealth(in the neigbouthood of 80-90%) was generated in the currency markets. Interestingly, in reference to risk, he has stated, "the currency markets are no different than the race tracks." He bets the same way whether at the track or the currency markets. It was no luck he came across ROG, he just knew a good horse when he saw one. Sure thing he has the midas touch; they didn't call him the Sundance kid of nothing.Everything was rosy until Rock of Gibralter turned out to be the horse of a lifetime and after his racing career, was sent to stud to earn millions of dollars in stud fees.
