Racing has a particular fascination with `the big new owner,' and the sport has been fortunate enough to find a seemingly endless stream of them: men and women who have made their fortune in another indus- try and then used that fortune to fuel their passion: Thoroughbred racing and breeding. This month, we travel to Boca Raton to sit down with Bob Edwards and his family to talk about their e Five Racing operation; they bought their first horse on a whim at Saratoga in 2015, and now own over 70. The China Horse Club's Teo Ah Khing similarly took the racing world by storm a few short years ago. Amanda Duckworth travels to Ordos in Mongolia to check in on his plans to bring rac- ing to that country in a big way. If you're heading to Gulfstream this winter, you might consider staying in Palm Beach, near the training centers. Christina Bossi- nakis has some tips. On your way to Lexington for sales or racing? The 21c Hotel was just named Conde Nast Traveler's number 6 hotel in the entire American South. You'll never stay anywhere else in Lexington. And final- ly, bloodstock agent Justin Casse has made a name for himself on the international scene. And as it turns out... he's an international kind of guy. Patty Wolfe sits him down for a video Last Word.

By Patty Wolfe 58 ORDOS: TEO'S NEXT FRONTIER Although racing is one of the oldest forms of competition around, there are still frontiers to be conquered, and if Teo Ah Khing has his way, the next one in line is mainland China.
