So when it came to a tribute for his departed soulmate, what could have been more apt than setting up an international stud farm in her honour? Though the Poonawalla Stud Farm remains one of India’s best known nurseries of thoroughbreds, the new one Cyrus has started in the UAE is nothing short of spectacular..
