It is thought Tan bought two racehorses in Australia earlier this year, but this is his first purchase in Europe.
The new acquisition, which is expected to race for the first time this summer on the flat, has yet to be named.
Tan's colt will be trained in Wiltshire by Australian Jeremy Gask.
The horse is a son of Australian mare Mary Goodnight and Dutch Art, who won the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2006 and was runner-up in the July Cup a year later.
"We are very excited, and pleased to have Mr Tan involved," Eamonn Wilmott, Gask's business partner told BBC Sport.
"The horse looks exceptional and dominated the parade rings outside the sales."

It's going to be called Lucky Red isn't it?

I bet his colours are Blue Yellow and White and the horse is called Always Be Blue just to piss everyone off

He would paint Desert Orchid red the loon

I bet his colours are Blue Yellow and White and the horse is called Always Be Blue just to piss everyone off

Quickly followed by it being rebranded to Always be Red

I heard its gonna be called.....Tannis Red

Born on the 8th !!

What a man!

This is a really well bred colt. The Dam side is full of stamina stacked full of group winners. The Sire and back family has lots of speed and again a family full of group class winners. Could turn out to be a 2000 Guineas/ Group Horse. Nice first horse anyways. Here's the pedigree - http://www.dbsauctions.com/pdf/dbs/289/177.pdf. He's lot 177 here and you can watch him breeze up at Doncaster on the video to the far right of his name here - http://www.dbsauctions.com/catalogue.as ... reeze%20Up. Quite a nice mover. "Lucky Red" maybe

tan got £1.6 billion and 11 children...he must be on benefits then.....

I bet his colours are Blue Yellow and White and the horse is called Always Be Blue just to piss everyone off

It wouldn't piss me off because that is one i would bet on, i don't bet very often but when i do it's only the name i go by

Looks a good piece of meat to me, definitely worth a bet

Has he bought it to stop the goals going in next season

£190k. that's cheap considering he paid £7.5m for a donkey called Cornelius
