John Fielding is hoping CHARLATAN is the real deal.
One of the continent’s most successful Standardbred owners (17 Breeders’ Crown victories), John is also a co-owner and breeder of many top Thoroughbreds in the last decade having embarked on a joint business venture with friend Fred Hertrich. The unbeaten California-based, Bob Baffert-trained Charlatan could be a ticket to the Kentucky Derby in September for John.
Of course, the Toronto businessman, founder of Array Marketing which has clients including big cosmetic companies such as Estee Lauder, is in the same listing boat as most business owners and horse owners; everything is shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic and bills need to be paid. And John has more shares of Thoroughbreds this year than ever.
