Yulong January

Prominent racing figure Vin Cox has resigned from his role as general manager of Yulong Investments, just four months after joining the global breeding and racing powerhouse.

Cox, who stepped into the position in November 2023, cited “differences in opinion on strategic direction and values” as the reason for his sudden departure.

“I want to thank the exceptional team and clients I have had the privilege to work with. I do not want to make any further comment,” Cox said in a brief statement.

His exit marks a significant shift for the Yuesheng Zhang-owned operation, which has rapidly grown into a dominant force in Australian and international bloodstock.

While his stint at Yulong was short-lived, Cox played a key role in overseeing some major racing success stories, most notably the rise of Via Sistina, who delivered a stunning performance to win the 2024 Cox Plate, and Devil Night’s recent Group 1 victory in the Blue Diamond Stakes.

Cox brought considerable experience to the role, having previously led Magic Millions and served as the managing director of Godolphin Australia.

His reputation as a polished operator and deep understanding of the racing and breeding landscape made his appointment at Yulong a headline move late last year.

Yulong has not yet commented publicly on the resignation, and there is no word yet on who will step into the general manager role moving forward.

The departure adds a layer of intrigue to the future direction of one of Australian racing’s most powerful and ambitious stables.
