Re: [RC] - Maryanne Stroud Gabbani

This is likely one of the Maktoum specials. He loves throwing money around like that. With politics being what they currently are, I'm fairly certain that going to Jordan for an endurance race would be deemed an unwise action by the Israeli Foreign Ministry, but maybe you can lean on the FEI to promote the international flavour of the race. The one thing that you can be sure of, if this is a real race, is that the winners will be from the Gulf. I'll do some checking here for rumours and I'd recommend you check the old Masters of Endurance site. This is a corporation based in Paris and headed (at last look) by Feisal Seddiq el Mutawwa, Maktoum's old helper for endurance and one of the FEI bigwigs, that was promoting a bunch of "endurance" races throughout the world to determine the "best" (richest?) endurance rider in the world. We had one here and for pure melodrama, backstabbing, incompetence, and hilarious background drama, it couldn't be beat. It also couldn't be called endurance.

I have heard that in six month time there will be an endurance race in
Jorden with 1.000.000 dollar for the first price and a Mercedes for the
second price.
Does anyone know info about this Jordenian race?
Will Israelis be alowed to join?
