New Money Shakes Up Royal Ascot

Wathnan Racing, led by the Emir of Qatar—aka the Sheikh with the world’s flashiest superyacht—has the old guard at Royal Ascot seriously sweating. After bagging the Gold Cup with Courage Mon Ami last year and splashing out for sprint star Lazzat, the Sheikh’s billions are rewriting the pecking order. Godolphin and Juddmonte might have history, but the new kid’s garage (500 cars!) and private airline say he’s here to stay. Is this the start of a new dynasty, or will tradition fight back? #RoyalAscot #WathnanRacing #HorseRacing #Sports
