Al Basti Equiworld Dubai has been announced as the new sponsor of the G1 July Cup, the centrepiece of the three-day Debenhams July Festival at Newmarket.

The £600,000 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai July Cup will take place this year on Saturday, July 12, offering the first opportunity in Britain for three-year-old sprinters to take on their older counterparts at the highest level over the distance of six furlongs.

Al Basti Equiworld Dubai is already the sponsor of the Newmarket Owners and Trainers Facilities, across both the Rowley Mile and the July Course.

Al Basti Equiword Dubai founder and CEO, Malih Al Basti, said, “Newmarket holds a special place in my affection and I have fond memories of racing there over many decades. More recently, it has provided a valuable platform for the promotion of our business.

“The July Cup has a strong heritage and an iconic international reputation and I am very proud that it is now associated with the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai brand.”
