[RC] Horse Racing in Middle East (Was The Young Black Stallion) - Suvut
I was referring to the early days of endurance racing over in the Middle East when they were spending upwards of $100,000 to purchase our good proven endurance horses. A man I know, Tom Luckett, was one of the first to sell them a $100,000 horse. Back then, they did not have veterinarians to control the rides. They raced 25 miles over the desert at top speeds with no vet checks --- and horses died. Lots of good horses went over there, raced a time or two, and were never heard from again.
