The Dubai World Cup Carnival
After the UK flat racing and the National Hunt racing, the UAE flat racing has to be the most exciting horse racing fans, audience and crowds would want to attend and bet on. The sensational season takes off in November each year and then extends on to March
of the next year.
Ever since the commencement of the Meydan racecourse in 2004, this year will be the fourth time that the Dubai World Cup Carnival will be celebrated. The global popularity of the Carnival and the Dubai World Cup brings contestants from around the world.
It becomes a money minting and promoting opportunity for many businesses. Many sponsor the races during the Carnival and more try to get the sponsorship of the event itself.
Meydan Group Board Member and Chairman of the Racing Committee, said: “The success of the Dubai World Cup Carnival and the Dubai World Cup has brought international prominence to racing in Dubai and the UAE.”
“Each year we welcome the best in racing to Dubai for our Dubai World Cup Carnival, a season that is the goal of horsemen from around the world. It is our privilege to share our passion for this wonderful sport that connects the world through the power
and beauty of the horse.”
The versatility of the Carnival enriches each year as the participation and attendance from throughout the world increases. It has become one of the most awaited events of the year and many British and French stables now target it as the foremost agenda.
The eleven premium quality race meetings feature twenty-seven Group and Listed Races. An unbelievable $37,360 million is offered as prize money, up for grabs for all those who are contesting.
The season begins in November each year and the Carnival itself starts in January and ends in March.
The richest horse race, the World Cup, is featured on the final day card. The card offers $27, 250, 000 for the nine races that take place at the end of March and the winning prize for the World Cup alone is $10 million.
Which country will get to grab the World Cup honour this year will take some time to reveal.
