Personally I think, that running in a country where homosexuality is not a death sentence where you have no chance is a much wiser choice and decision, but maybe that's just me.

(sorry, I limit my posts here to almost nothing because I upset people and am not liked, but I couldn't resist this one!) In summary, I admire this Ascot decision by the dumb asses and despised their Dubai decision.

"Owner Sheikh Hamdan said on Sunday he had donated the $6 million prize-money to charity.

The son of Godolphin founder Sheikh Mohammed saw his colours carried to victory in the world's richest race by 14-1 shot Prince Bishop at Meydan on Saturday.

He tweeted: "I am pleased to announce that I have donated the Dubai World Cup prize of 6 million dollars to the Dubai Autism Centre."
