Sting has followed horse racing for a long time. I recall reading an article back in the early days of The Police mentioning how he owned a racehorse named Sweet Cal. In 2005 the Kentucky Derby's winning horse was even named after Sting's son, Giacomo. It isn't surprising that he likes to mix business with pleasure sometimes.

money talks.

well, let's see whether Dubai is not quite bankrupt until then...the Rabat festival is a free concert BTW!
