Lots of horse racing industry people will hate the Arab horse owners for one simple reason.
Now that they are having success with their North American runners, we're seeing the sentiment tossed their way change from ridicule to to something even less attractive.
Personally, I wish them good luck. They have some nice ones, they got a triple crown race win and I look for their horses to do well the rest of the year.

Not sure what you're getting at.
I don't dislike Godolphin because they're Arabs ( I dislike Hitler because he was responsible for the mass murder of millions of Jews among other atrocities but that has nothing to do with Godolphin ). I dislike them because I believe they have had a detrimental affect on major racing in America.
They have every right to have operated as they have but I simply don't see them as a friend of American racing. Perhaps that will change, and it does seem we are seeing a few more of their horses, but they have done a lot of damage over the last twenty years.
