WELCOME TOTHE 2018 - 2019 race season

Racing returns to Meydan on Thursday November 1, with the first meeting of our 2018-2019 season.

An evening at the races promises an exciting mix of first rate hospitality, the thrill of on-track action and stylish race day fashion. These meetings continue right into April and offer our race day crowds the chance to catch our locally-trained Thoroughbreds and Purebred Arabians in action.

Thursday, January 3, 2019 signals the start of the Dubai World Cup Carnival when Dubai Racing Club plays host to some of the top names in international racing from all over the world. This is high stakes racing, with up to US$1m available in prize money at a single meeting, attracting racing’s jet set owners, trainers and jockeys. Race day style also ramps up a notch as the racing frenzy builds towards the season-ending Dubai World Cup – the richest day of racing on the planet.

With US$35m prize money available across nine races, including US$12m at stake in the title contest, the Dubai World Cup trophy is one of the most coveted on the international calendar and attracts the absolute cream of world-class racing.

The fashion stakes are also high with elegant ladies and gentlemen vying for the title of ‘Best Dressed’ in the popular Meydan Style Stakes competition. Hats and fascinators are the order of the day as the crowds in the 60,000-seater Grandstand enjoy Dubai’s biggest sporting and social spectacle from Meydan’s luxurious hospitality venues.

With 23 race meetings staged between November and April, Meydan Racecourse offers something for every budget - from free entry to the absolute last word in race night hospitality - as well as stylish, intimate suites and flexible venues for tailor-made corporate events.

INTRODUCTIONTO MEYDAN RACECOURSE AND GRANDSTAND

While it makes headlines for the world-famous race days it hosts, Meydan Racecourse and Grandstand also represents a major business and conference venue and one of Dubai’s premier lifestyle, entertainment and sports destinations.

Combined with The Meydan Hotel, the world’s first five-star trackside hotel, Meydan offers a purpose-built events space and the flexibility to transform it from a conference or exhibition space to a concert venue, film shoot location and everything in between.

The architecturally fascinating Sky Bubble draws the eye from miles away and offers guests 360o views of Dubai from its giant triangular windows while below, The Apron, which becomes the party scene during Dubai World Cup, hosts large-scale concerts and festivals throughout the year.

The Meydan Grandstand houses 78 suites that can be individually tailored to suit any occasion. Intimate groups of ten can enjoy a stylish evening in a single suite, or the space can be expanded to comfortably cater up to 500 guests in five-star luxury surroundings.

The Track, Meydan’s nine-hole floodlit golf course is managed by Troon and offers year-long pay-and-play rounds as well as night golf and a popular driving range.
