Emaar ignites Meydan Magic with Dubai millennium stakes

By | 29 Jan 2025

The Dubai Racing Carnival is set to dazzle fans once again with an exceptional night of racing at Meydan Racecourse, sponsored by the global realty developer, EMAAR, on Friday, January 31. This event, hosted by the Dubai Racing Club, promises to be a highlight of the racing calendar with an eight-race card featuring some of the best international horses and jockeys.

The evening’s main focus will be the G3 Dubai Millennium Stakes, a race that was memorably won in 2023 by WARREN POINT, trained by the renowned Charlie Appleby. Another jewel in the crown of the night’s racing is the Listed Dubai Sprint, which saw victory last year by WARREN POINT’s stablemate, MISCHIEF MAGIC. Additionally, the card includes the Jumeirah Guineas Trial, a competitive event for three-year-olds racing over 1600 meters on the turf.

This marks the second time this season that EMAAR has partnered with the Dubai Racing Club, following their successful sponsorship of Festive Friday in December. EMAAR, known globally for its transformative real estate projects, has shaped Dubai’s skyline with landmarks like the Burj Khalifa. Their portfolio spans across luxury developments such as Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and numerous other prestigious locales, alongside an impressive array of premium malls, hotels, resorts, and entertainment destinations.

His Excellency Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Executive Director of EMAAR Properties, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are delighted to once again partner with Dubai Racing Club for the prestigious Dubai Millennium Stakes card. This event showcases Dubai’s sporting excellence, and we are proud to be part of an evening that brings together some of the world’s finest horses and jockeys. We look forward to a memorable night of exceptional racing and celebrating the talent of international competitors, while continuing to contribute to the city’s vibrant cultural and sporting landscape.”

The racing festivities kick off at 5:30 pm, with tickets starting at a very accessible AED5, while hospitality packages begin from AED315. There’s also a special Ladies’ Night offer, enhancing the appeal of this grand event.
