We caught up with one of the thoroughbred industry’s biggest players Sir Owen Glenn, at the opening of his impressive Hawkesbury-based pre-training and breaking in facility, Glenn Haven Horse Farm.
With a straight-talking reputation, Sir Owen, who was born in India, raised in Auckland, educated at Harvard Business School before hitting the jackpot with his company Vanguard Logistics Services, has raced star horses such as Railings, Second Coming, Monaco Consul, and Criterion, along with owning various shares in stallions including Russian Revolution. Here, he opens up about his passion for thoroughbred racing and breeding, and his most important work yet – philanthropy.
