Dubai Racing Club has today 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 on Friday, January 3 when the AED300,000 Jumeirah Stakes, for three-year-olds over seven furlongs on turf, becomes the Jumeirah Stakes Sponsored by The Jockey Club.
Representatives from Dubai Racing Club will also travel to Newmarket's July Course on Friday, July 11, during the prestigious July Festival, when the club will sponsor the Dubai Racing Club Handicap Stakes over five furlongs.
Erwan Charpy, manager of racing operations and international relations for Dubai Racing Club, said, “Our leaders teach us always to look forward and in working with global partners to enhance the sport, we are embodying that.
“Racing, now more than ever, is an international sport and we are very happy to work with the Jockey Club in boosting relationships between the UAE and the UK.”
Sophie Able, Newmarket Racecourses and international director for the Jockey Club, added, “We are delighted to be partnering with Dubai Racing Club in 2025 and to be working together to promote each other's race programmes to our horsemen, existing racegoers, followers of the sport and to new fans.”
