Horses, fashion and fun
Dubai World Cup is the one of the world’s biggest social and sporting events. Taking place on the last Saturday of March at the iconic Meydan Racecourse, it is the richest day of racing in the world with a combined prize purse of $30 million USD.
The racing season begins in November and is highlighted by the Dubai World Cup Carnival, a season of high-class international race days worth around $40m in prize money, which gathers the most high-profile owners, trainers, horses and jockeys in the world.
This year Dubai World Cup is celebrating its 20th anniversary so we believe that this year event will certainly be even more spectacular than the previous ones.
