The Shocking BBR Story...

maybe they are selling while they still get buyers?
in 5 years who would want to buy?
Track is costing money? why keep it?

nothing happening since Sept last year ? all gone very quite..... brushed under the carpet ?

Steve Reid wrote on his website yesterday that there was rumors that Roux was dead but that it was not confirmned..

Sad. Condolences to the family.

RIP Brian and all strength to the Roux family.

Leading horse transporter Roux dies

By Michael Clower 2:32PM 9 JUN 2011

South Africa: Brian Roux, for many years the country's best-known bloodstock transporter, has been killed in a car crash near Johannesburg. He was 53.

The horses flown by his BBR Bloodstock company read like a who's who of South African racing and include Horse Chestnut, Ipi Tombe, Victory Moon, Western Winter, Northfields, Jallad and Flaming Rock.

The business ran into financial problems last year and Roux was forced to cease operations. He blamed slow payers and himself, saying: "At the end of 2009 I was owed in excess of SAR 8 million [£727,000], but my blind pride in always delivering horses on time for the previous 31 years came into play and I stupidly continued to ship."

Roux also had interests in a number of horses in training and the best was the dual Durban July winner El Picha.
