Kia Joorabchian Aims for Betfred Derby Glory with Amo Racing’s Ancient Egypt

Amo Racing, led by football deal broker Kia Joorabchian, is ambitiously challenging the dominance of established superpowers like Coolmore, Godolphin, and Juddmonte in flat racing. By investing heavily in high-quality bloodstock, including the £1.1 million Ancient Egypt, and developing a strong breeding program with promising sires like Persian Force, Amo Racing is steadily building a competitive operation. Recent successes, such as multiple winners at the Guineas Festival and strong performances from horses like Ancient Egypt, indicate the stable is on an upward trajectory, aiming to eventually secure major victories like the Betfred Derby.

Joorabchian acknowledges that achieving top-tier status in racing is a long-term endeavor requiring patience and sustained effort. While cautious not to jinx their chances, he remains optimistic about Amo Racing’s future, emphasizing the importance of steady progress and quality breeding. With a dedicated team, including trainer Kevin Philippart de Foy, and a growing portfolio of homebred talent, Amo Racing is positioning itself as a serious contender in the global racing scene, committed to making a lasting impact.
