“I appreciate your friendship more than anything.” “Me to thank you Alan. i feel safe with you.” He shouldn’t have.
Polo legend Adolfo Cambiaso won the 2016 Argentine Open riding six genetically identical clones of his champion mare Cuartetera. His business partner, Texas oilman Alan Meeker, then secretly sold clones of that same horse to a Russian buyer for $800,000 each. A nine-day jury trial in 2024 proved the betrayal and ordered all clones and tissue samples returned. When you build a multi-million-dollar industry around copying horses, the backstabbing was always going to follow the money.
