Some people on social media called for horse Justify to go to the WH as the horse will have more respect and won’t decline...

I agree that the horse will have respect but I doubt one or more of his owners has!

George Soros owns 15% interest of Triple Crown winner Justify!

He doesn't own the racing rights, but does own the breeding rights, a more lucrative investment.

George Soros is said to own 30% in Justify only for breeding rights, via SF Bloodstock. He previously sold 30% of racing rights in 2 chunks of 15% each, but retained the breeding rights.

However, there are rumors that full breeding rights for Justify have just been sold to Coolmore for $60 million, whereas SF Bloodstock gets 30%. Coolmore is a stallion farm and they likely purchased him to stand him at stud, if the rumor is true.


SF Bloodstock has invested in many other race horses, on the breeding and pinhooking side of the sport.

This money keeps a lot of horse people in KY employed. Let's hope thoroughbreds aren't added to the tariff trade war. This would hurt KY most of all. A lot of thoroughbred horses are sold to other countries.

If trump owned him, you'd all be talking about what a winner and a genius he is. Soros derangement syndrome is real.
