Default Monster

This really belongs in international but I know some people don't go over there, so...

Ramzan Kadyrov is the President (or Dictator) of Chechnya. He's also an owner.

When Mourilyan was 3rd in the Melbourne Cup there was some question as to what to do with the prize money. A LOT of people thought that because of his reputation well they didn't want anything to do with him and argued it should stay in country.

Bronze Cannon has run and Mikhail Glinka (nice horse) is about to run in Dubai (on Thursday).

I never hear a peep about any of this so I guess it's not a problem over there BUT what would happen if he wanted to come for the BC?

I don't want this to turn into a Godolphin fight (I no longer have a side anyway) because it's not about them at all... it's about someone who is linked to systematic torture, rape, murder, disappearances... someone whose name can be used in the same sentence as crimes against humanity. (I realize I'm leaving a door open here but can we try to stay on this one topic? Thanks).

What happens if someone like that wants to come or, at the very, least enter their horses?

What should happen?

Don't believe the press. It's usually nothing more than propoganda.

I'm not saying he's a monster or isn't a monster, and he is a politician, so these things might be true, but then again, his opponents might just want you to think that.

I do know he had a great Russian champion named Indian Jameson. He went six for six and won the Russian 2000 Guineas.

He's considered by at least 2-3 people to be the greatest Russian racehorse ever.

I wonder if this was his groom.

(Not going to post link after link listing the allegations but I just found this and thought it was well... interesting).

His horse, Bankable, won today in Dubai.

Hooray!

Wonder where he's gonna spend the .

Kalashnikov, hired assassins, paying people to kidnap, torture and murder human rights activists, more "pets" (like the tiger he allegedly keeps chained up that he enjoys beating (hey we all need hobbies, right?)...

So little time, so many crimes.

There was a kind of raw eloquence in that post, Freddy.

No I don't expect anyone to give a **** and believe me once today is over I'll have forgotten all about it too (hey I'm human and I'm not holier than thou... just makes me sick. That he bought Mourilyan makes me want to vomit) BUT it's worth mentioning.
