Racing industry remains silent in the face of suppression of truth, as stated by Kia Joorabchian following the mysterious deletion of his interview
In a series of recent developments, horse racing owner Kia Joorabchian has found himself at the centre of a storm, with allegations of bias in the racing media, questionable practices, and censorship. Joorabchian, a prominent figure in the world of football transfers, has also made a significant investment in horse racing through companies like AMO Racing and AMO Stables. His high-profile status and substantial spending at sales have attracted attention, but not all of it has been positive. One of the key issues that have sparked controversy is the accidental gelding of Rock Iguana, a £500,000 purchase. Joorabchian revealed this incident as one of the reasons for removing the horse from trainer Ralph Beckett's yard. The revelation lit up social media, and the story continues to make waves. However, it seems that the conversation around Rock Iguana and the Amo horses did not end there. An interview of Joorabchian on Racing TV was mysteriously deleted from social media and made unavailable on demand. Senior figures in the racing community have expressed their disbelief, likening the move to a form of 'censorship'. Joorabchian has had run-ins with the racing media in the past and has not been shy to call out publications and articles he believes don't tell the whole story. He believes there is a bias in the racing media and that they have little interest in writing the entire truth. Another owner has decided to switch their horses as well, perhaps in solidarity with Joorabchian. The owner stated that he is not one to shy away from telling the truth, and that if he is not liked, that's okay - they're always looking to hate someone. Joorabchian is not just focused on the incident with Rock Iguana and Amo horses. He believes that there are other issues in racing that need more attention. He plans to speak about the gaps in the industry and the lack of women in positions of power, as well as the issue of prize money. The controversy has led to a shift in public opinion, with punters turning in favor of Joorabchian, calling him a 'breath of fresh air'. Despite the scrutiny he faces due to his football background and profile, as well as their spending at the sales, Joorabchian remains undeterred. He stated that he tried to reach out to the editor of the Racing Post to clarify the truth, but received no response. As the story unfolds, it remains to be seen how the racing community will respond to these allegations and whether the industry will take steps to address the issues highlighted by Joorabchian. One thing is certain, however - the sport of horse racing is in for a shake-up.
