In a rare insight into the inner workings of China Horse Club, vice president Eden Harrington spoke with Tim Rowe about founder Teo Ah Khing’s achievements and vision for the international thoroughbred breeding and racing empire.
With the emergence of racing industry behemoths such as Yulong, Amo Racing, and Wathnan Racing, alongside the more established Coolmore and Godolphin, it is perhaps easy to overlook the contributions of other major international thoroughbred conglomerates.
One of them is China Horse Club (CHC), which for more than a decade has been pursuing the elite racing aspirations of its founder Teo Ah Khing and is succeeding in doing so.
Their influence was witnessed at Royal Ascot when Cercene, a filly bred and sold by CHC, won the Group 1 Coronation Stakes, and they were represented in the Pretty Polly Stakes with Survie, a mare they own who ran third in the fillies and mares’ Group 1 at the Curragh last weekend.
There are Kentucky Derbies, Golden Slippers, Epsom and Irish Derby trophies won over the past 10 to 12 years by stars associated with China Horse Club, and there are almost certainly many more top-class racehorses in the pipeline.
