A record crowd of more than 65,000 attended Saturday's Dubai World Cup night card at Meydan in Dubai. It was the 29th edition of the nine-race spectacle, which featured $30.5 million in purses.
The evening's crown jewel, the $12-million G1 Dubai World Cup, was captured by Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}) for trainer Brad Cox and owner Wathnan Racing. Next year's edition will mark the 30th edition of the Dubai World Cup and it will be held on Saturday, March 28.
“This year's Dubai World Cup meeting was nothing short of phenomenal,” said HE Ali Al Ali, CEO and board member of Dubai Racing Club (DRC). “Attendance surged by 18% compared to 2024, a testament to the dedication of our incredible team, sponsors, and partners – and to the growing global excitement surrounding racing in Dubai.”
