Among the top 200 wealthiest Australian people profiled in the recent Australian Financial Review Rich List is a host of racing identities who share a passion for the thoroughbred industry.
Eddie Hirsch bought four mares at last week’s Magic Millions sale on the Gold Coast, but his investment easily flew under the radar.
With 24 million-dollar lots and Zougotcha selling for $5.25 million, Hirsch’s quartet cost a relatively modest combined price of $435,000.
The four mares were mostly acquired to support Hirsch’s new recruit, the first season Group 1 Randwick Guineas and Doncaster-winning Celestial Legend.
The new stallion will stand at petroleum billionaire Hirsch’s Woodside Park Stud in Victoria with the support of wealthy Hong Kong businessman Bon Ho, who raced the talented but injury-prone Celestial Legend, and whom he maintains a 50 per cent interest.
