Sheikh Mo can be a dividing figure and for all the bad that has happened with his organisation (I long for the days in the 90s and early 00s when Godolphin was just a small band of elite horses), I think racing is in a better state with him in it than him in a different sport.

Just have a look at the fantastic race course that he pumped billions into. It would have to be recognised as the finest Sporting Arena ever built and it belongs to Horse Racing.

I can't agree more on that subject, the track looks fantastic and well done to them, but at the end of the day it's for them and it's creating more money for them. It's taking good horses away from us and giving them to them....... everything is designed for them.

They make it look like they are giving the sport plenty, but in reality they are taking it away from us faster than we can actually see.
