LAMBOURN’S future as a horseracing centre of excellence has been boosted by planners’ approval of a futuristic horse training monorail. Despite some local objections, planning chiefs have given the go-ahead for the revolutionary Kurtsystem project at Kingwood Stud. The facility represents a major investment in Lambourn by owner Mehmet Kurt, one of Turkey’s leading industrialists and racehorse owners who has owned the winner of the Turkish Derby twice.
