Comer brothers saddle up to fight racing ban and council sanction
Facing a horse racing ban and an order to demolish a ‘mutant’ London building, the billionaire brothers are not backing down
It’s been a rough few weeks for the billionaire Comer brothers Luke and Brian, who are as famous for their enormous property empire as they are for their horse racing operation — both of which have suffered public blows this month.
In swift succession, Luke Comer was stripped by the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB) of his racing licence for three years over doping offences, and then a London council ordered them to tear down a building over planning violations.
