Mr J B Joel, son of an East-end publican, went to South Africa as a young man and became a millionaire there. He returned to England and supervised his vast financial interests in the City. His business covered mines, breweries, collieries in South Africa and gold and diamonds. Jack Joel was extremely successful with his racing and breeding interests and his horses won almost every important contest in the Racing Calendar. He was Champion Owner on 3 occasions.

When Morton retired in 1924 he was succeeded by his former assistant Charles Peck, who had trained for Jack Joel's brother, Mr Solomon Joel. In 1929 Mr J B Joel bought the Foxhill Stable to where his string was transferred. His stud was at Northaw House in Middlesex and then the Childwick Bury Stud near St Albans.
