Sheikh Mo tbf can't spend all his time on racing. He is PM/President/King/Dictator of a country of over 2m people.
But surely Crisford has a f/t job as Racing Manager ?

Godolphin site: "In addition to working as racing manager, he also carries out duties similar to those of any chief executive of a major company – he ensures the smooth running of the entire Godolphin operation."

I can't see how he can possibly remain in the role over this. The biggest scandal in many a year, going on right under his nose.

Having met him a couple of times, it's a shame because he's always seemed a really decent bloke, but business is business.

Nice guy he may be but surely his position is now untenable.

I would have thought he had to go.
Not that he necessarily knew what was going on,but he should have.

salmon,

If he didn't know, then it's hard to describe it as anything other than incompetence.
If he did know, well...

My thought exactly Dr gonzo. Similar to The Director-General of the BBC finding his position impossible over the Savile ****-up.

I'm not sure that Crisford is anything more than the public face of Godolphin. He's like an after dinner speaker on retention. PR dream!

the answer to the original question would seem to be 'not a lot' as he's not been seen or heard from since the scandal broke

He has now.
Very chummy with the BHA despite the fact that he is described on Godolphin's own website as the equivalent of a Chief Executive.

I imagine that throughout his life Simon Crisford has had a good run of the dice. He will struggle brush this off as easily as Frankies dandruff.
