The most amusing part of his six month ban is that it ends on October 3.

I did not understand th eban if it ends in October then Sheikh Mohammed would be banned from racing since April but yet he participated in a race in England and won 1st place. Where is the ban? Unless I am missing something which I am sure I am not.
I am only gessing now but maybe the event he participated in and won was not listed as FEI event or something that counts as "official". Maybe he set up and sponsored his own event and won it - wouldn't be the first time would it
It was clear that there wouldn't be too much fuss about the issue since nobody will harm the goose that lays the golden eggs so to say. Where would parts of horsesport be without Mo's money

If you live in the UK and are an EXPERIENCED rider, able to provide an ex Goldolphin horse with continuing training and a loving home, if approved you could have a Goldolphin gelding for 100.00 GBP + VAT.
I love the idea that Sheikh Mo funds rehabilitation for horses that haven't made the grade or are retired.
Lots of them are getting a new career in dressage, showjumping, showing, eventing, hunting, polo or just being companion animals and family hacks and doing Pony Club stuff.
