Mark Souster meets man behind the new monorail that could change the way young
racehorses are trained
Rising from the earth on the edge of Lambourn is an edifice, which at first glance bears a
passing resemblance to a rollercoaster. It snakes through a one-mile swathe of the 165-acre
Kingwood Stud, the scars of its construction still evident on the land.
But far from being an object for amusement, it is a deadly serious attempt by a Turkish
multimillionaire to revolutionise the way in which young horses are prepared for training. It
is a £20 million hunch that its inventor and founder hopes will prove to be his legacy to
racing. And it will be ready for use from next month.
