Phoenix Thoroughbreds Chief Executive Officer Amer Abdulaziz recently visited Saudi Arabia to attend it's top race, The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup, and he said, “I am very grateful to the Prince, the Equestrian Club and [leading owner] Khalid Mishref for their invitation and hospitality to attend such a wonderful event. It was an honour to witness such a great race up close and have a look around the fantastic facilities at Riyadh Racecourse. Saudi Arabia is a country with huge ambitions for the sport, and we want to be part of that, in addition to opening new opportunities for ownership. I had some very productive discussions, and without the support and encouragement we received we wouldn't be able to proceed down this path. I want to thank everyone involved in those meetings, and I look forward to having regular runners there with Phoenix Ladies.”
