Ascot When Not At Bilderberg

It's high summer in England and that means the race tracks are not as much of a quagmire as they otherwise usually are, and Sheikh Hamdan is likely to be in attendance on one of the major tracks somewhere.

Shamal Wind - will probably be wearing
different colours, maybe red and white,
in the King's Stand Stakes on Tuesday. 

10 million dollars buys you a day at the ISIL front if you are the US government, or a truly great racehorse - say something like the Sheikh's new acquisition, Brazen Beau.

Although entered for Tuesday's King's Stand Stakes at Ascot, the horse will more likely appear in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes a couple of weeks later on.

Another horse, Shamal Wind - which is quite a different kind of horse, has the ability to do amazing things in the King's Stand Stakes but it will depend on whether the surface of the track is not too treacherous and is able to provide some reasonable footing for genuinely attacking sprinters.

These kinds of races are not the sort of thing I gamble serious money on but they are intensely interesting all the same, partly because of the sheer frisson of the Ascot Track itself, and partly because if the really quick horses run to their capability on the day you will witness something truly special indeed.

Shamal Wind has one of the most amazing finishing bursts of any racehorse I have ever seen and is a sight to behold on her day.

How can the Sheikh be expected to waste his time at the Bilderberg Conference when he has the Ascot King's Stand Stakes to go to!

Interesting people do interesting things,
like have tea and Persian Fairy Floss.

He's a sensible man, the Sheikh. He owns a different horse in the same race - Muthmir - which isn't a bad horse by any means, but it isn't as exciting as Shamal Wind. This is definitely a fascinating race to watch. 

And I will be watching it. I'm not interested in things like the Bilderberger silly nonsense anymore. Unless Alex Jones or someone can come up with something entertaining about it. It's a bunch of crooks holding hands. And? The point is?

So they don't want us to know what they are talking about...So what. I don't want to know. Because no one there has any brains and they are never going to be able to say anything of interest to me anyway... I'm just not interested.
