A polo legend and a businessman joined forces to copy the player’s greatest horse. But with a single clone worth $800,000, some technologies are a breeding ground for betrayal.

My final story for @WIRED. A story of biotech and betrayal, based on thousands of court documents, depositions, testimony and interviews. Featuring an Argentine polo star, a Texas oilman and an exiled Russian billionaire. Oh, and lots and lots of cloned horses.
