I honestly thought this was some kind of April Fools' joke when I read it. The kid rode a perfect race, and they won. What else do you want, him to drill some more oil wells for you while he's on the far turn?!?

It's that his ethnicity has absolutely nothing to do with it. Zero. So saying "The oil rich Arabian" and then "Let the Arab ride Invasor next time," smacks of crudeness.
Would anyone here say "The Black scored 50 points" after Kobe Bryant had a big game? Nope, because his being Black has nothing to do with it all. Odd choice when a simple word like "he" would have sufficed.
