Presvis: One of the stars on show at the Dubai World Cup Carnival

The Dubai World Cup Carnival will get underway with back-to-back race meetings at Maydan on January 5-6...

Many of racing's top trainers will once again be represented as they aim to claim some of the nearly US$39 million in prize money to be offered during the 16-race meetings, including the US$27.25 million Dubai World Cup.

Racing interests from nine countries are represented, including: the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Brazil, Singapore, Ireland, South Africa, Bahrain and Norway.

Some of the runners already at Meydan include reigning Dubai Duty Free champion Presvis, Singapore International Cup winner Gitano Hernando and King's Stand Stakes winner Prohibit, while a whole host of other top names are expected to follow.

Mr. Saeed Humaid Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Meydan said on https://www.dubairacingclub.com/: "First held in 2004, the Carnival has attracted a virtual who's who of the world racing elite. In recent years a roster of stars have been showcased at Meydan Racecourse and their success stories typify the benefits of the Dubai World Cup Carnival - the development of horses in a lucrative program with the potential to broaden their careers with Carnival success leading to the world's richest race day - the Dubai World Cup.

"We continue to work to further develop the success of Meydan and the Dubai World Cup. The Dubai Wold Cup Carnival is our foundation and we are committed to making the horsemen's experience at Meydan one of the greatest in all racing".

Martin Talty, International Manager concluded: "This is an exciting year for the Carnival, it comes with a new name and for the first time two Group 1 races on Super Saturday. Trainers from around world have embraced Dubai as the place to be in the first three months of the year and that is proven with the level of horses we have for this year that are already here at Meydan and those that are expected in the coming weeks."

"The diversity of countries together with the number of owners and trainers that will be represented proves that international racing is here to stay and will continue to grow."
