...Osama bin Laden, has entered the world of British horse racing by buying ten young horses.
The 41-year-old, who is the nephew of Osama's half-brother Bakr Bin Laden, bought the horses at the annual Newmarket sales.
The wealthy businessman is chairman of Modern Building Leaders Ltd - a construction company based in Saudi Arabia.
Four Newmarket trainers have been selected to take charge of two-year-olds purchased at the sales last year for Mohammed Saleh bin Laden, a prominent new owner in British racing.

Swifty thankfully Caldwell construction got out when they did or you'd be berating them also being building contractors.
You can pick your friends but not your family. Had a great Sunday at DRF where most of accents I heard we're English which I was over the moon to hear and hope it continues. We welcome the owners having horse's here including HH AGA KHAN that has invested so much in Irish racing along with Godolphin and other's whom care to support the racing industry here. |

Oh FFS. The bin Ladens are a very rich Saudi family in business and not terrorists just because Osama was. Older forumites will remember the conspiracy theories around President Bush allowing the family to leave America just after 9/11.
Other reasons to oppose Saudi sportswashing are available. |
