The first of 10 meetings of the Dubai Cup already kicked off this week with the opening rounds of the 2008 Dubai International Racing Carnival starting last Thursday with a record number of top rated horses set to compete in the world’s most international and richest festival in racing.
The race which is held annually at the Nad Al Sheba Race course, the 2,000m track is the witness of the Dubai Cup, the biggest day of racing in the global calendar with more than US$6 million at stake and the best thoroughbreds in the world. The first meeting of the carnival will be the Super Thursday fixture on March 6th, the last step before the Dubai World Cup staged on March 29th which is sponsored by HH Sh. Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, and UAE Minister of Finance & Industry.
United Arab Emirates has organized the race since 1996; the figures for 2008 are clearly superior to previous years which have proved to be very successful. Actually, from the 263 horses that were accepted, there are 23 individual horses that were successful at Group 1 level in 2007, compared to the 18 of the previous year.
Forty-three group stakes winners are expected to compete at this year's Carnival and 19 of those are Group 1 winners. International riding stars Frankie Dettori, Mick Kinane, John Murtagh, Ryan Moore, Ted Durcan and Kevin Shea will be on the scene.
It is a fact that the Dubai Cup has become the favorite race for horse trainers and owners but also the most important event on the Emirate’s social calendar. Off the track; the Arabians offer the Carnival Style Stakes and the Super Thursday Style Stakes staged on February 28th and March 6th where the Best Dressed Lady competition is the feature prize during both nights. There are also prizes on the Best Dressed Couple and Best Hat winners.
An International Horse Fair staged on March 20th will be one more of the events to enhance the International Championship and to attract a big amount of consumers from around the world.
Once again, and thanks to its successful trajectory the Championship will be broadcasted live on television, with a great percentage of US viewers which truly enjoy the majesty of all type of thoroughbreds.
