The ‘new look’ Carnival encompasses 14 meetings at the iconic Meydan Racecourse, beginning on Friday, November 10th and running until Friday, March 8th. Stabling in Dubai Racing Club’s International Quarantine Stables will be free for participants travelling horses from overseas. Further incentives, including travel, will be decided by a special committee on a horse-by-horse basis. Stable staff staying in the quarantine facilities can do so for a fee of AED1000 per month (US$272).
These incentives are in addition to the new Dubai World Cup Bonus Race Scheme – nine races guaranteeing starting places at the Dubai World Cup meeting, with bonuses of more than $4million. The bonus – 10 per cent of the prize money for the corresponding race on the Dubai World Cup card – will be paid if the horse wins both races.
Major General Dr Mohammed Essa Al Adhab, Executive Director of Dubai Racing Club, commented: “We’re really excited about our new-look season. The new programme is aimed at encouraging owners and trainers to base their horses here throughout the winter, allowing them to make use of our five-star facilities and wonderful climate.”
The Dubai Racing Carnival precedes the $30.5million Dubai World Cup meeting, which takes place on Saturday, 30th March 2024.
