Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Wins Again

Honorary Australian, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, won this year's (2018) five million dollar Caulfield Cup horse race over the classic Derby distance of 2400 meters.

His stable manager and race horse trainer Saeed bin Suroor led the winning horse - Best Solution - into the yard after the stunning victory. The horse had taken off very early on from probably before the 800 meters, running to the lead and racing powerfully, from which point on he was never actually countered although the second placed horse Homesman also sprinted well at the end and came close.

For serious racing watchers, the important thing to consider was that not only did the winner start out his charge forward from a long way out from the winning post, but he continued all the way from then in very strong fashion, and it was clear he had no shortage of stamina at the end. Bin Suroor's style of training heavily relies on the slow building of stamina into a horse and his top line horses never lack stamina if they are fit and well to race.

I really love that someone like Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum wins such a great classic international race such as the Caulfield Cup - it's a race contested by only the very best horsemen and women and it requires a true racer, an animal that can sprint, run fast, and also have heart and courage and produce stamina as and when required.

The media-led 'underside' of the story of course, includes questions over what has happened to His Highness's daughter (one of them, at least) Princess Latifa. My view is that she is a lot safer currently than being in the grasp of say, a 'Dr Christine Blasey Ford,' for instance, or swanning around in Londonistan with a lot of clever, and very sophisticated people who know what they are doing to a young person... There are risks with prominent people being open to all influences that the media will cry crocodile tears about, after any 'sad' event takes place subsequent to the 'freedom' they keep clamoring about.

In recent years, the general media has become psychotic and deliberately forgetful, giving one side of a picture that misleads people using sophisticated emotional manipulation tactics. You have not seen a single report, have you, that the Crown Prince Salman was shot at and almost killed not long ago, by the Muslim Brotherhood - the group behind the so-called 'Arab Spring,' which the late Jamal Khashoggi was wildly enthusiastic about, and having raised millions from wealthy Saudis for, over the last few years. And nor have you seen any reports that this Khashoggi (there are a lot of them) suffered several strokes recently and had emphysema from too many cigars and too much alcohol. 

The lurid and gruesome accounts of what supposedly happened at the Saudi Embassy are not entirely out of the question, given the animosity the Saudi General Intelligence Service might have about the failed earlier assassination attempt on Salman.

However, if you go by the Secretary of State of the US's report on all available facts - these things DID NOT happen.

I think Khashoggi had a heart attack and died and possibly he was indeed being held by the neck by someone at the specific time, and furthermore, there are genuine unresolved questions as to why so many personnel from the Saudi inner circle of the Intelligence Service required to be there ostensibly 'interrogating' Khashoggi - if that was what was admitted to have been going on. 

There is simply insufficient factual knowledge at the moment regarding why Khashoggi would even go to Turkey - which has 245 journalists detained under 'arrest' right now and at the time he traveled there. This makes no sense unless he was specifically invited by Erdogan for the purposes of being briefed about pushing narratives in the Washington Post about the extradition of Fethullah Gulen to susceptible American politicians. And that would make Khashoggi an agent of Erdogan and once again, the Muslim Brotherhood, which supports Erdogan.

This is by absolutely no means whatsoever about some naiive and innocent 'angel' who was brutally and callously tortured and murdered after having been 'lured' to the Saudi Embassy by the Saudis.
