One of world’s richest racehorse owners could be moving famous thoroughbreds out of Ireland
One of the world’s richest racehorse owners may move his famous thoroughbreds out of Ireland if a quarry near his stud farms gets the go ahead.
Pat Downes, manager of the Aga Khan’s studs in Ireland, is worried about the potential impact of the proposed quarry. “This is an area of Kildare that is highly dependent on agriculture, bloodstock and rural employment.“Certainly for our business, it could result in a relocation of stock to France with the inevitable result of job losses.”
Ruby, the Aga Khan as well as the Irish Thoroughbred Breeders Association were among over 220 locals including two TDs and 12 councillors, who made submissions against the plans.
