Dubai Miracle. I received this note: "Do you know how time is kept for horse stamina races? There is something fishy here. Only you (and your readers, I stand corrected) will fully appreciate the irony in this. If you quote it, please remove my name. Sheikh Mo Bin Rashed won the race thrown by his in-laws, and his sons finished second and third, with one second of delay between each rider.

Shaikh Mohammad, riding "Kumait- Kevin De Narzox" won in a time of 4 hours, 59 minutes and 55 seconds.

Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's Crown Prince was second place, in a time of 4:59min and 56 secs.

Shaikh Majid Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, finished third after clocking 4:59 mins and 57 seconds."
