their flyer also invites one to:

Check out Teke Racing, the official website of the International Akhal-Teke Jockey Club! It has Event Results for the Akhal-Teke races, lists Coming Events, and has a Photo Gallery. There are also pages for Racing Sires and Famous Racers, which will hopefully be up soon.

I am very excited about this new World Akhal-Teke Organisation. It looks like it is the brainchild of some of the best breeders in the world, including Alexandr Klimuk of Stavropol, Leonid Babaev of ShaEl Teke and Todd & Jessica Keith of KaraKum Akhal-Tekes. Also listed is Abdurakhman Osmanov, Daghestan. I don’t know anything about him, but I’m sure he’s very knowledgeable (just by association)!
