Dubai Racing Club has announced a new partnership with The Jockey Club, the UK’s largest racecourse group.
The partnership will see a little slice of England come to Meydan Racecourse on Friday, 3 January when the AED300,000 Jumeirah Stakes, for three-year-olds over 1400metres on turf, becomes the Jumeirah Stakes Sponsored by The Jockey Club.
With 15 racecourses in its group, The Jockey Club, which operates under a Royal Charter, runs racing at such world-famous venues as Newmarket’s Rowley Mile and July courses, Cheltenham Racecourse, Epsom Downs and Aintree.
The partnership will see representatives from Dubai Racing Club travel to Newmarket’s popular July Course on 11 July, during the prestigious July Festival, when the club will sponsor the Dubai Racing Club Handicap Stakes, over the exciting minimum distance of 1000metres.
