Are the financial clouds about to darken Nathan Tinkler's racing empire? This seems to be the suggestion in a major article in The Age/SMH newspapers on Friday. It says: 'Fairfax can reveal that in June Tinkler tried to raise $200 million by selling his entire racing and breeding empire, which includes stud farms and private training centres, as well as more than 1000 racehorses, broodmares and stallions...His attempt to offload his racing and breeding interests - which Fairfax last year calculated was costing him about $500,000 a week - will be keenly noted in financial circles.' Any fall in big Nathan's fortunes will have a big effect on horse-racing - as well as sport (he owns Newcastle Jets soccer club). Guess we will wait and see what develops on this story.
