Taking his place is Jun Zhang, who has been an integral part of the Yulong business for a number of years and has been a familiar face at the races enjoying some of the farm’s finest moments on the track this season.

“Having seen the positive impact Vin had in his time at Yulong, I am confident we can continue to build on this as we head towards the 2025 breeding season,” said Jun Zhang.

“I feel it is important as a company that we keep moving forward, and this week has given us an opportunity to learn and grow.

“The positions and duties of our current staff will remain the same as they continue to drive the company towards further success.

“Thank you to all those who have and continue to support us in what has been a phenomenal year for Yulong. I am excited to take the reins and lead the team as we seek to develop Mr. Zhang's vision, and look forward to meeting you all very soon, both at the sales and on the track.”
