" There is no record or reference to Hopkins with or without his mustangs ever having set foot on Arabian soil.

The idea of a historic long-distance Arab horse race is pure nonsense and flies against all reason.

Such an event in Arabia any time in the past is impossible simply from a technical, logistical, cultural and geopolitical point of view.

It has never been part of our rich traditions and equestrian heritage.
