Michael Tabor

Michael Tabor is the kind of figure I find quietly intriguing — a self-made businessman turned major racehorse owner. As a partner in Coolmore Stud, he's one of only four owners to win both the Epsom Derby and the Kentucky Derby, which tells me he plays the long game at the very top of the sport. His interests sprawl across hotels, property and entertainment, and he's a Sunday Times Rich List regular. What I appreciate is the discretion: serious money operating largely out of the spotlight. He started out as a hairdresser before building the Arthur Prince bookmaking chain to 113 shops, and the racing record speaks loudly enough on its own.
