I think this is a good development.  I really don't care what the  
UAE's motivation is:  concern for the horses, or PR opportunity.   
Regardless, the UAE has a lot of experience in the form of "elite  
level Veterinary Support", as well as experience in the logistics of  
putting on races involving equines.  They also have lots of money.  :)

I also think the FEI is being *extremely* careful to stay out of the  
whole issue - at least officially - which is probably wise.
