The Sheikh has every right to do this and to buy every horse under the sun if he wants, but frankly it disgusts me. However, as I don't think he's got a prayer of winning the Derby using his methods, a part of me is smiling.
Seriously, it does disgust me. The Sheikh throws more $$$$ at people than they could ever expect to see in a lifetime ($$$ which is pocket change to him) and who could turn that down? The man practically has a monopoly on the sport except for families like the Phipps and Farishes. I don't begrudge in any way Sheikh Mo's $$$ - not at all. I just find this a sad state of affairs.
