Not many if any  governments speaking up on the matter , I think racing is not really in a position of international power brokers or in a position to do anything unless government takes the lead . Emirates FA Cup can go first and greedy football will do sweet FA that's for sure , weapons industry will also do nada but loads people want racing to fall on the sword .  I think at one stage some boat syndicate was sponsored by a company connected to Dubai .

The relationship of racing to Sheikh Mohammed is analogous to an addict and his/her supplier. IF Godolphin pulled out of Newmarket tomorrow it would be a bloodbath not ust for the town but for the racing industry which would then be entirely dependent on the largesse of Coolmore,

Take the UAE presence out of British racing and it would look and be a severely diminished product.
