At the gallop

Sheikh Mohammed is making waves Down Under after spending half a billion dollars on Australia's biggest horse breeding stud:

AUSTRALIAN horseracing's most lavish supporter, Bob Ingham, has sold the vast Woodlands Stud to the ruler of Dubai for more than $460 million.

Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is the world's biggest owner of thoroughbreds, and the deal means he will dominate the breeding and racing of thoroughbreds in Australia through his Darley Stud.

Darley will take Woodlands' 1000 horses, two studs, a pre-training farm and racing stables in Sydney and Melbourne.

The deal is subject to approval by the Australian government which will take another month.

    I remember reading (Brian64's label on DEWA raising prices for expats) that you have a 11-bedroom villa.

    Ah, the company you get to be in especially if you're the Chairman & CEO of an Inc ;)

    I don't know about her, but there is a picture of Sheikh Mohammed in a tux and hat.. I think it was during a World Cup or something to do with horses.. I think that is his absolute coolest picture. It suited him too well.

    The chick? bah, who cares?

    The post was about Sheikh Mohammed's diversification into horses & feeds & thoroughbreds & studs and blah ;)

    And God knows what else.

    Yeah, that's quiet evident - LOL ;)

    Damn, will anybody care to ask how he got that money. Money that would have been better spent alleviating poverty on UAE Nationals.

    Where did all that money come from? Pure & blatant thievery I say.
