BANGKOK: -- A Norwegian sold the racing horse Smedheim Solan, that was owned by a cooperative of 10 people, and went to Thailand with the NOK 1 million the new owner paid plus prize money the horse won during the last 7 months.

The 9 other shareholders of the Norwegian racehorse claims that they have been cheated not only for the profit connected with selling the horse but for their share of the NOK 1.3 million the horse won in prizes during the last 7 months.

According to Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten the 9 other members of the cooperative have pressed charges against Jan Ketil Bråttas who claims to have donated all the money to a Thai village where he plans to stay and start at new life.

Jan Ketil Bråttas who claims to have donated all the money to a Thai village where he plans to stay and start at new life.

Well . . . I'm sure we can believe his claim since he has proven himself to be an honest and upstanding person. No reason to believe that he will cheat anyone here in Thailand and simply take the money and live happy as a pig in S@#t.

[noitom]

Whose now got the horse?

[MexicanFarang]

I can believe they have really fast horses in Norway.

They chase the horses holding lutefisk to make them run faster...

[mcfish]

Its hardly enough to bother with an extradition.

Jan Ketil Bråttas I`m a Norwegian fellow. I just give you one advice. That is to get your as out of Thailand asap, go back to Norway and do the pay-back. If I meet you in Thailand I will let all my anger, because you are making Norwegians looking bad, out on you.

Seriously ?

[MartinBangkok]

I am a Norwegian, but in Thailand I have learnt that Norwegians defies belief..

[amja]

Here in Sweden and Norway it´s really big betting on horses!

Seems like peanuts.

Wether galopping or "trav" (sorry, don´t know english name)

Anyway, big win or big loss, horesmonglers alike!

Donated the money to a village, sounds like karma has caught up with him already.

[Jim walker]

Most normal people donate their money to charity or good causes not other people’s money.

[Fred Flinstone]

The man is a crook *(Thailand should deem him as such) but perhaps they won't see it that way and he will be allowed to stay.?

Could possibly put him in contact with a young Thai lady with a large interest in a elephant breeding facility. Would require some hands on work, mucking out stalls, etc.

Don't remember asking for your approval.

Unfortunately, he hasn't been riding the horse, just racing it.

I wouldn't want to be him in Isaan with a posse of angry Vikings after my arse, even if he has bought some protection in his tilak's village. He's still a thief by any other name..

[javel]

Lovely Youtube video from himself, of his two loves.

The horse, and the girl he sold it for,
