Yulong Says Founder Zhang Yuesheng Is Away on Business, Plans December Return

The operation says its Australian program remains on schedule, with Via Sistina set for the Cox Plate as preparations build toward Magic Millions.

Overview

  • General manager Jun Zhang said Zhang Yuesheng is in China for business commitments, including meetings with local government, after extended time in Australia.
  • Yulong expects Zhang to be back probably in December to oversee the stud’s draft at January’s Magic Millions Gold Coast sale.
  • Jun Zhang sent a message to industry figures calling circulating rumours about Yulong and the owner’s whereabouts “completely untrue.”
  • Zhang has not attended recent Australian fixtures such as The Everest meeting, the Inglis Ready2Race Sale, or Via Sistina’s Turnbull Stakes run at Flemington.
  • Operations continue with high-profile runners, including Cox Plate favourite Via Sistina and stablemate Treasurethe Moment, as the bloodstock giant maintains heavy investment in top mares.
