It's no secret that horses with the best bloodlines in horse racing do not come cheap.
Some of the wealthiest people have paid huge sums for exceptionally well-bred thoroughbreds. None more so than former Manchester United owner John Magnier, the owner of Coolmore Stud and world famous stables at Ballydoyle.
He has achieved incredible success with trainer Aidan O'Brien, a record-breaker preparing horses to perfection for high-profile targets. Two of the big races he has won multiple times come up this weekend – the Qipco 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket.
