Dubai Racing Club has announced more details about the forthcoming Dubai Racing Carnival, at which free stabling* will be offered for overseas runners in the International Quarantine Stables.

The ‘new look’ Carnival encompasses 14 meetings at the iconic Meydan Racecourse, beginning on Friday, November 10th and running until Friday, March 8th. Stabling in Dubai Racing Club’s International Quarantine Stables will be free for participants travelling horses from overseas. Further incentives, including travel, will be decided by a special committee on a horse-by-horse basis. Stable staff staying in the quarantine facilities can do so for a fee of AED1000 per month (US$272).

These incentives are in addition to the new Dubai World Cup Bonus Race Scheme – nine races guaranteeing starting places at the Dubai World Cup meeting, with bonuses of more than $4million. The bonus – 10 per cent of the prize money for the corresponding race on the Dubai World Cup card – will be paid if the horse wins both races.
