HRH Sheikh Mo has done so much for racing internationally...

I'm really not up to having this fight (again) and yeah I know all the arguments.

Respectfully, I admire and applaud the Godolphin organization. I'll leave it at that.

I'm sorry for not understanding the 2nd paragraph... maybe I'm a moron.

As far as the first? Come on... no one ever disses the sellers. It's always the evil boys in blue who buy who are crucified.

Okay, he's given his pocket money to racing charities and supported them, but in relation to the money he has and the money I have, it's no more than giving them $400-500 a year, and I guess I give around that mark to various racing charities.

What else?

I know I go on about this a lot, but because I feel strongly about it. I'm sick of seeing horses I love(d) to watch go to them and then never see them again, or don't see them for over a year.

No really, this is my last post on this thead!

Just one thing, one example... after September 11th didn't he donate $5 million to the Red Cross AND all the BC winnings to one of the 9/11 funds?

Okay now I'm done.

Sheikh Mo can be a dividing figure and for all the bad that has happened with his organisation (I long for the days in the 90s and early 00s when Godolphin was just a small band of elite horses), I think racing is in a better state with him in it than him in a different sport.

Just have a look at the fantastic race course that he pumped billions into. It would have to be recognised as the finest Sporting Arena ever built and it belongs to Horse Racing.

I can't agree more on that subject, the track looks fantastic and well done to them, but at the end of the day it's for them and it's creating more money for them. It's taking good horses away from us and giving them to them....... everything is designed for them.

They make it look like they are giving the sport plenty, but in reality they are taking it away from us faster than we can actually see.

Like I said, it's pocket money for him.

$5million out of his thousands of billions is like what? $1-2,000 for us "common" people?

The amount of money he has given is easily outweighed by the millions and millions of dollars worth of horse talent that his racing operation have ruined since they were set up.

He buys 20 mil of yearling at a sale.. He probably gave 25 mil to the families of the people who killed thousands in 9/11 felt they desired it for there heroism. Perhaps you have an opinion on his racing camels? I hear he has a new 10 year old boy that is lights out in the saddle and unfortunately lights out in the saddle. The guy is insane he spent 2 bil on a race track for 60 days a year.
