The world of racing is exciting and full of challenges. But if the typical competition we add the sumptuousness of the facilities and the elite that come to see the event, the result is a series of unique and exclusive sporting events worldwide. DUBAI WORLD CUP is officially the world’s most expensive horse race, worth an eye widening $25.26 million.
Dubai is known worldwide as a symbol of wealth. It has the original indoors ski slope (the first and most famous of the Middle East) and the world’s most expensive horse race: Dubai World Cup, created by Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Dubai World Cup is composed of six competitions for Thoroughbred horses. Win them means getting the equestrian world at your feet. Run them, have been part of a dream. Have the opportunity to assist to one of the race, after having obtained an entrance and a parking spot is witnessing the most advanced and competitive turf planet. An ultra-glamorous audience of 60,000 spectators fill each year the most expensive racecourse in the planet, the Meydan Racecourse, to cheer the world’s finest thoroughbreds and nimble jockeys round the track.
Perhaps part of the Dubai World Cup’s success is not only due to the state-of-the-art race track, but the burgeoning status of Dubai as an international crossroads and global transport hub, and of course a first-class tourist destination, evidenced by more than 50,000 racecourse attending the Dubai World Cup meeting each year.
