He better make runners,or he will become Sis Kebobi(Shish Kebob.)Making pokeys will result in him being a "missing" horse.Sometimes things just get lost..o.k? This can happen anywhere.
As far as Turkish racing goes,they race a little more Arabians than Thoroughbreds(they call them English.)Far as I can tell,they do allow betting.The country(as a whole) is slowly slipping from Secular to Islamic(as far as laws go.) So,hurry to make your bets.They once had casinos,but for some reason(almost overnight) that stopped.That's the type of country it is.Probably most people there don't know they have horse betting there.If they find out,don't be surprised if they ban it quickly.
In 1983 the Turkish government granted permission to first-class holiday villages and five star hotels to open casinos on their properties. At the peak there were more than 80 casinos in Turkey in tourist facilities located in Antalya, Izmir, Istanbul and Ankara. In 1997 more than 14 billion US dollars were wagered in Turkey's casinos surpassing gambling income in many European countries.
Turkish parliament voted, however, on August 8, 1997 to close all casinos within six months. Even after the Islamic government was replaced by a secular, center-right administration the parliamentary vote to close them overrode a veto by the than President Suleyman Demirel. From mid-February 16, 1998 the government decree closing the casinos went into effect putting an estimated 20,000 people out of their jobs.
