    With the escalation of tensions in the middle East with regard Qatar how can Godolphin and numerous Maktoums rulers of United Arab Emirates support Quipco the Doha based sponsors of British Champions series.How can the UK government who along with the USA instigated these sanctions on Qatar allow a country that is accused of fostering terrorism be allowed to promote a company run by senior figures in this rogue nation.As I don't subscribe to the shockingly inept Racing Post I'm wondering if they run with any coverage of this awkward situation.Their past record of omerta on thorny Maktoum related subjects suggest silence.Diore Lia front page news with the rag but only a very tiny piece on Godolphin owned Log Out Island failing a drugs test and been disqualified.

    Quick answer is they won't. As SM political position in UAE he is behind this sanction. AFAIK qatari nationals have been deported from UAE.
    Godolphin was set up to showcase UAE on a global scale. So I can't see them partaking is such races.
    The bigger question is BHA acceptance of such sponsorship

    They couldn't care less where the sponsorship is coming from.
