	Magnier to ride Cowboy in the Champion Hurdle \| News \| Horse Racing \| Sport \| Telegraph (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Magnier is the son of bloodstock magnate John Magnier, who with fellow racehorse owner and investor J P McManus has a 23 per cent stake in Manchester United FC, and is currently embroiled in litigation with the club's manager Sir Alex Ferguson in a dispute over ownership of stallion Rock Of Gibraltar.
		Rhinestone Cowboy, owned by John and Sue Magnier J P's parents, became 5-2 favourite for the Champion Hurdle after winning a handicap hurdle under topweight at Haydock Park on Dec 13, with the young rider claiming his full 7lb allowance.
		Magnier came in for the Rhinestone Cowboy ride on the retirement of Norman Williamson, who partnered the gelding into third place in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham last March.

	Racing: Fallon happy as draw puts Yeats in pole position - Independent Online Edition > General
		Tom Magnier said that their stall was even better than they had been hoping for, and it was also approved by Yeats's jockey, Kieren Fallon.
		Magnier also put to rest any fears that Yeats missing a gallop on Friday would hinder his chances in the race.
		Magnier said that race tactics will not be spoken about until Yeats's trainer, Aidan O'Brien, in the US for last night's Breeders' Cup, has been contacted.

	Mrs. Susan Magnier - NTRA
		John Magnier, who served in the Irish Senate for a period in the late 1980s, has been a member of both the Irish racing industry’s two governing bodies, the Irish Horseracing Authority (IHA) and the Turf Club.
		Sue Magnier’s yellow colors with a fl star have long been familiar in jumping circles, but in recent years the Magnier family has become more directly involved in ownership of top flat horses, often in association with Michael Tabor
		However, this information is misleading, as Sue Magnier also has shares in most horses that run under Tabor’s name alone, and Tabor also holds sixth place in the standings with seven wins and a further £675,000 in prize money.

	The Sun Online - News: He could topple Fergie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Magnier, 55, a burly six-footer with a growl to match any of Ferguson’s snarls, is as tough as teak.
		Magnier’s feud with Ferguson has gone up through the gears since he bought his first Manchester United shares with his business partner JP McManus.
		Magnier’s big breakthrough came from the decision in 1969 by the then Irish finance minister, Charles Haughey, that all profits from the Irish bloodstock industry would be tax free.

	Football \| Ferguson to sue Magnier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Ferguson's solicitors have issued legal proceedings against Irish racehorse owners JP McManus and John Magnier - whose company Cubic Expression control 23.15 percent of United - claiming half-ownership of Group One record-breaker Rock of Gibraltar.
		But Magnier, along with Coolmore Stud, have promised to "vigorously defend" the action, saying that the claim is "without merit".
		Ferguson claims Magnier gave him a half-share of Rock of Gibralter as a present and wants half the stud fees - thought to be worth something between £50m and £150m.

	Observer \| Ferguson hopes to end racehorse battle with Man Utd tycoon
		The United manager's decision to sue Magnier, who jointly owns 28.89 per cent of the club with his partner, J.P. McManus, provoked a crisis at the club.
		Sources close to Magnier made clear that, while he is keen to end the dispute, it must be on his terms.

	Fallon delivers at the double \| Horse Racing \| Sport \| Telegraph
		Sue Magnier, Michael Tabor, Aidan O'Brien and Fallon became the first identical owner-trainer-jockey combination in 63 years to lift both the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas in the one season, emulating King George VI, Fred Darling and Gordon Richards, who took the same two Classics with Big Game and Sun Chariot in 1942.
		Last week, the Magnier camp were disappointed to learn that Damson had been ruled out of the 1,000 Guineas after scoping badly, but Ballydoyle's Virginia Waters proved an able deputy.
		John Magnier, all smiles in the winner's enclosure, could well afford to be philosophical about events over the weekend.

		And there is a direct financial connection between one of them, Magnier, and Ferguson: Magnier sold the Man Utd boss his half share in "The Rock" - an outstanding stallion - but the other two legs are still owned by Magnier's wife, Sue.
		McManus and Magnier have built their Man Utd stakes over the course of a year and own 8.6 per cent of it through their joint investment vehicle, Cubic Expression.
		Ferguson was introduced to Magnier and McManus by Mike Dillon, the head of public relations at Ladbrokes, Britain's largest bookmaker, and a familiar face at racecourses all over Britain.

	United fear further smears on Ferguson \| Man Utd \| Premiership \| Football \| Sport \| Telegraph
		Kroll, who describe themselves as a "risk-consulting company", have been instructed by John Magnier, the Irish racing tycoon who is in legal dispute with Ferguson over the stud rights to the champion racehorse Rock Of Gibraltar.
		Though Magnier is notoriously secretive about his business dealings, a Dublin-based spokeswoman for his investment company Cubic Expression has confirmed that Kroll have been used by the multi-millionaire - but no details of the extent of the operation have been given.
		Though Ferguson's original plan to sue Magnier, who with business partner JP McManus owns 24.24 per cent of United, was looked upon with despair by some members of the plc board, the club are now worried about any further revelations.

	Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Ferguson stud-fees dispute prompts recall of his very words
		As has been widely reported, Sir Alex Ferguson and John Magnier, owner of Coolmore Stud, appear to have fallen out over the ownership of Rock of Gibraltar, last year’s champion miler, winner of £1.2m in prize-money and a record seven Group 1 races in succession, including the 2000 Guineas.
		Ferguson says that he and John Magnier had a "verbal agreement" to share the stud fees made after the Scot was given the half-share in the horse in the summer of 2001.
		With £60m at stake, Ferguson is reportedly preparing to take Magnier to court, and their friendship and business partnership are reportedly ended.

		Given that each one has to be unique, for identification purposes, most new owners have to opt for an amalgam of colour schemes, body, sleeve and cap designs, all of which makes the plain colours a prized commodity.
		The all-blue set that were bought then by Sue Magnier have been paid for many times over with a succession of champions and the mauve version that are sported by the horses owned by Paul and Susan Roy, most notably Sixties Icon and Dutch Art, have recouped that outlay as well.
