		Number 1 on the list is her father, Frank, the flamboyant, eccentric, rags-to-riches auto parts billionaire who now divides most of his time between a castle in Austria, his family compound north of Toronto and an apartment in Switzerland (where he lives in order to avoid Canadian income tax).

		Frank Stronach would never take such a chance with one of his top racehorses, but he's done virtually the same thing with one of his top racetracks.
		When Stronach announced earlier this month that 48-year-old former jockey Chris McCarron had been named general manager of Santa Anita, he was in effect saying he was turning over the reins of one of his prized properties to someone with no background in the field of racetrack management.
		Stronach clearly downplayed McCarron's lack of experience and instead chose to focus on his attributes, of which there are many.

		Frank is a great believer in innovation, and he instituted the Sunshine Millions Series, a $3.6 million raceday, pitting the best Florida breds against the best California breds, at Santa Anita and Gulfstream.
		Frank is able to bring from his various Magna ventures a perspective that is unique to racetrack management.
		The Stronach family's commitment to first class racing comes from a more elemental source, a simple commitment to the horse: to quality bloodlines, quality racetrack performance and quality conditions for breeding, raising and training the horse.

	Thoroughbred-World
		Stronach’s fame (some might say notoriety) comes from the fact that in a game as diverse as thoroughbred racing, he is the one man who would dare to be king.
		In 1954, at age 22, Stronach packed a suitcase, and with a bankroll of a couple of hundred bucks emigrated from his native Austria to Canada.
		Stronach’s business philosophy, his many critics would agree, is far askance from what has made him one of the world’s most successful horse entrepreneurs.

		In response to an institutional investor pressing for a shareholder vote on the MEC takeover, Stronach replied that "this company will not be driven by institutions alone," suggesting that a short-term focus of big stockholders _ "to institutions sometimes a week is a lifetime" _ could override the interests of workers and other stakeholders.

		Indeed, it is very likely that more people have heard of his controversial owner, Frank Stronach, than his home-bred son of Awesome Again, the only Breeders‘ Cup Classic winner ever to sire a Breeders’ Cup Classic champion.
		What separates Stronach is a model he calls “Fair Enterprise,” whereby the successful company invests in people.
		And that’s a good lesson for Stronach, for many of the racetracks owned by his Magna Entertainment Corp. presently are floundering.
