Owners
Amongst his main band of owners were Anthony Oppenheimer, Far East businessman John Pearce and also Mollers Racing, formed after the deaths of brothers Eric and Ralph 'Budgie' Moller, who left behind a trust fund to keep their famous chocolate and gold silks in the game beyond their deaths. Moller Racing's horses were purchased by bloodstock agent John Ferguson in the main, following the sale of the Mollers' breeding establishment, White Lodge Stud, to Sheikh Mohammed. Notable purchases included First Island, Pentire and Swallow Flight. The silks are still in use despite Wragg's retirement, with near-neighbour and fellow trainer Chris Wall currently housing a couple of Moller horses including useful middle distance staying handicapper Snow Hill.
