Stabling for runners in the International Quarantine Stables traveling from overseas for the upcoming season of the Dubai Racing Carnival will be free, the Dubai Racing Club announced on Tuesday. The season kicks off on Friday, Nov. 10, with the first of 14 meetings at Meydan Racecourse.
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% of the prize-money for the corresponding race on the Dubai World Cup card, will be paid if the horse wins both races.
“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,” Major General Dr. Mohammed Essa Al Adhab, Executive Director of Dubai Racing Club, commented.
The Dubai Racing Carnival precedes the $30.5million Dubai World Cup meeting, which takes place on Saturday, Mar. 3, 2024.
