Kia Joorabchian: why I spent millions at Tattersalls this week - Luck On Sunday

[@Glistianevents]

We agree 100% with what he has done. For decades it's the same owners winning the main races.

[@MattyMurtagh]

He has the right idea but he will need to spend millions at every sale for the next twenty years. The top Coolmore / Godolphin /Juddmonte pedigrees never get near a sale. The homebred horses which are currently racing have been developed by careful breeding over the past 40 years, When Vincent O'Brien started going to Keenland in the 1970's the attitude was buy all the top yearlings. This was the start of Coolmore

[@BugleCoops]

You can trust him, he's a former football agent...

[@Thomas-vg8ov]

He's trying to go against established organisations that have been in the game for many years and produced the stallions that they are buying from.

[@vincentmcgarry3598]

Good luck to the trainers and David Egan .😅

[@JohnFletcher-hz1mp]

He's typical of his breed.

[@JohnFletcher-hz1mp]

I wont even back one of his. I aint guna shout him home. I was the same with that Marwan Kukash.

[@thomaslancaster3283]

Lol wants to get people into the sport by showing them that anyone can do it.... You just need a greek shipping mogul to back you and life's a breeze. Muppet

[@Im_not-the_father]

Ambitious optimism, apart from the fact that of course... to compete with Coolmore one needs an Aidan O'brien, and unfortunately they don't make them like him no more💀

An expensive experience to get lucky, if they want to break into the league of Coolmore and Godolphin.He just answered his own question by saying they will be lucky to find one good Grp1 winner to compete.

[@craigpope8580]

I don't like him but I got to be honest I agree with nearly everything he said here

[@smallsmalls3889]

What he means is why I spent other people's money. He's a crook

[@galdessa1]

Stallions is where the money is.

[@craigseddon4884]

Exactly, Juddmonte has Frankel at £350k a pop, Godolphin has Dubawi at similar. Coolmore own the rights to probably the best collection anywhere in the world. They're all breeding in house, and if one slips through the net they don't mind going and spending some of the £100m they make from their stallions per year to buy stragglers at the auctions.

[@oppamaclare]

@@craigseddon4884 I saw a Frankel filly selling for circa £6,000 at Tatersalls recently.

[@davidsmyth4184]

Kia should think about splashing out on a new phone.

[@Martin.Lewis.Racing.Channel]

He’s going for the Godolphin approach I see 😂😂😂😂

[@chrisshepherd6345]

All you need is one good horse at a cost of 20k and take it to Wolverhampton at 830pm on a cold wet night and win at 50/1 then do it again twice in a year that will give you a nice living oh put a nice little apprentice on it for her Xmas bonus while all the top jockeys are abroad. Easy game. He doesn’t have his own stallions ready yet so he’ll want to create one in the next 5 years to get his/their money back. Wonder how king of steel is doing. Egan will be licking his lips for his new mounts lol

[@greg434]

You'd be lucky to get £50 on at that price

[@DelKshares]

4:40 Did Kia call Nick Luck "Phil"?

[@Lebosh23435]

Is nobody going to question this guy where the money is coming from? Or does the racing authorities even care? He’s got some dangerous people backing him.. but I mean godolphins owner captured and tortured his own daughter..

[@andrewwilliams4283]

Hate this guy

[@davidsmyth4184]

He strikes me as a chap that is so loathsome, he hates himself

[@JohnFletcher-hz1mp]

Yeh,when things don't go his way he fires everyone. He employed them in the 1st place.

[@andrewblackie7170]

​@@davidsmyth4184: Just what I was thinking 😂 If he thinks he's going to be able to go up against & better Coolmore, Godolphin, Aga Khan & Juddmonte what Prince Kalid Abdullah managed to build in just 40 years is over incredible, Juddmonte have over taken the Aga Khan who's been in the racing scene for 176,000 years 😂 This dude will be in the shadows for a long time.

[@RobGreen-k3p]

Still can’t understand why he sacked Rosa Ryan then Kevin Stott . David Egan has had some success but racecourse talk has been maybevBilly Loughnane next?

[@noelb4768]

Did he mention money laundering,because if he didn't he missed out a vital part of why he's doing what he is doing.

[@davidfoster2006]

Not a nice man.

[@BigShug-e2k]

Money Laundering

[@andrewblackie7170]

What a question ? What's keeping you in ? What do you want to experience ? Obviously he wants to get lucky & experience what Prince Kalid experienced but the chance of that happening 0% 🖕Enjoy you're listed, G3 or G2's & occasional G1 then move on to try the Greyhounds 😂

[@trevormeeks4084]

A complete waste of money nobody likes him won't win anything

[@mastercann7168]

it should not be up to individuals to counter act against the big powers, it should the BHA, the jockey club, to limit horses in training and limit the actual sales price of the yearlings. UK racing is just in a sambles. Look at France how owners actually get benefits and price money is very good. Kia idea is interesting, but in long run it is damaging to the sport. the punter in UK has no change of wining, and when he does his account gets closed. Horse racing should be regulated properly and not run by the bookmakers.

[@struancochrane753]

@mastercann7168 I think you are muddling day to day racing and bloodstock. What do you hope to achieve by capping yearling prices? Do you then cap the future sales price for horses in training? Racing does have issues clearly, but capping bloodstock prices isn't the way forward. It is like trying to cap professional sportsman's transfer fees. The sums seem eye watering, but if these foundation pedigrees allow a stud to thrive and employ people, then it's a sound investment. These horses are bought to race, but the fillies at the top end, are bought to breed from. Only circa 50% of last years book 1 catalogue have seen a racecourse.

[@ladygardener100]

You are kidding, UK Government struggle to find one million to 🎉support, an industry that has to offer that amount for one race!

[@LarryFogarty]

fair play to him...puts his money where his mouth is..good luck to him

[@ladygardener100]

He won't have the wealth that the Co9lmore and Godolphin has, that's the point

[@ladygardener100]

Has he any idea howcmany horses and bloodlines in the Godolphin stable, they have thousands of horses.

[@ladygardener100]

The top horses are very hard to find, you can spend a lot of money and never find one
