Simon Munir’s interest in racing stems from his friendship as a schoolboy at Harrow with Newmarket trainer William Haggas, while he has earned the means to become an owner on a serious level through his work in asset management and international finance.

Like J.P. McManus, he’s no stranger to working in Geneva, and while he started out as an owner on the flat with Alan Berry, he realised that his best course of action if he wanted a return on his latest investment was to find an expert of his own, so he sought out renowned bloodstock agent Anthony Bromley, and turned his attention to the jumps side of the game.
