Oh yes, got it wrong. Found her name as Sheikha Rawda (= Roda) bint Ahmed bin Maktoum, sounds like a cousin.
So Ahmed bin Saed and Ahmed bin Rashid are the bachelors in the family?
However, Hamdan bin Rashid looks like a grumpy old man and he doesn't even smile when his horse does a winner. Runs in the family, huh?
But I like his quiet and more down to earth style more than the behaviour of other family members. You can see it in his jockeys too. The Hills brothers are successful but not very outspoken in comparison to Mister Dettori who went screaming all over the track yesterday when he won the Derby, luckily not for Godolphin
