Greg Perry, the legendary stock picker and fund manager once dubbed the “Freak” for his ability to beat the market, is continuing his slow and structured exit from the thoroughbred industry.
An avid breeder, owner and stud farm equity holder for the best part of a quarter of a century, Perry has been winding down his thoroughbred portfolio in recent years.
And the next chapter of that deliberately prolonged dispersal strategy will take place at the upcoming Magic Millions National Sale on the Gold Coast where a host of his quality mares will be offered.
Perry made his wealth through funds management, earning a reputation for his shrewd investments during the ’90s when the stock market became awash with superannuation money, before turning his attention to the racing and breeding industry.
A self-declared naive thoroughbred rookie, Perry soon became a shareholder in Hunter Valley nursery Vinery and went on to breed Group 1 winners Delectation, Marabi, Artorius and a host of other talented horses.
