Tom Ludt has done a lot in the horse racing industry. He was the president of Vinery, the chairman of the Breeders’ Cup and has worked for the Stronach Group. But never has he been involved with a project as ambitious as Phoenix Thoroughbreds. Ludt was hired in December to head the U.S. operations for the trailblazing stable that has emerged in less than two years as a major force on the global racing scene and is spending millions at the sales in order to achieve its goals. Ludt is this week’s guest on the Thoroughbred Daily News podcast, brought to you by Taylor Made.
