All of this talk here and in the press about the Sheikhs being poor sports and not keeping horses running is an absolute, laughable joke.

Let's recap:

$6 Million Dubai Cup. Check, they won that.

$5 BC Classic. Check, double check. Ran 1-2.

So these guys basically built a track and fund a number of races designed to bring many of the world's best horses in training to their part of the world.

They run 1-2 in the Breeders Cup Classic.

Horse Of The Year Invasor is scheduled to run as a 4 year old.

Beyer, Pricci, et al, are writing columns and, as such, people here and elsewhere will defend their right to express their thoughts. That's fine.

Ask yourself, what more do you want from these owners and breeders?
