South African owned piece of Kentucky

John R Gaines, the former owner of Gainesway Farm in Lexington, Kentucky and the founder of the American Breeders' Cup, died recently at the age of 76. He was influential in numerous areas of horse racing and breeding. He took over Gainesway from his grandfather, who began breeding standardbreds there in 1925. In 1989 he sold the farm to South African wine maker Graham Beck, whose son Antony now runs Gainesway, located on some of the finest bluegrass land in Kentucky. Graham has enjoyed great success breeding and buying Thoroughbreds and is a leading owner/buyer in South Africa.
