HORSERACING: Celebs & Thoroughbreds

THOROUGHBRED RACING is often referred to as the “Sport of Kings.” However, due to the pastime’s intoxicating aura, nearly every culture on earth contains a sect of humanity that revels in equine ownership. On our native soil we find that the general interest in racehorses is growing exponentially, so much so that celebrities from practically every conceivable genre have opted to dedicate a percentage of their disposable income towards locating pristine pieces of nimble horseflesh. Though the depth with which they have entered the game varies, each eminent individual we are about to profile eventually discovered their veiled desire to become totally immersed in the exciting, unpredictable and decadent world of thoroughbred horseracing.

However, any Golf Professional will tell you that it is much easier to play the game when we fit the club to you, not you to the club.
