If you want to say that the Sheikh is totally over the top and the thing is overblown, I'd agree, but the BC is in no position to dispute with the DRC who hosts a "World Championship."

Who gives a damn who is more "worldly"? The Dubai races are in March, The BC is Nov. There is no competition between the two. It is stupid of them to even bring it up.

Honestly it is just another example of those in power in this business having a total disconnect from their customers and simply not understanding what they are. The entire "World championship" naming thing was a gimmick for TV (ESPN specifically) to promote. It appears these people have fallen for their own trick. And people wonder why things are so screwed up in this business....

I agree with you and the initiative is dumb. However, if they're foolish enough to bring up Dubai, they need to recognize that there's no comparison between the two.

You just assume it is a bs thing that they are using to cloak the real intention for the perm site. But then you realize this is horseracing and they may just be that dumb
