Leading Dubai-based real estate and lifestyle developer Azizi will sponsor the second meeting of the Dubai World Cup Carnival, which takes place at Meydan Racecourse on Friday, January 21st.
Major General Mohammed Essa Al Adhab, General Manager of Dubai Racing Club, welcomed the support from Azizi, saying: “we are looking forward to welcoming our friends at Azizi back to Meydan Racecourse on Friday, for our second meeting of the Dubai World Cup Carnival.
“Azizi have been important partners with Dubai Racing Club for several seasons, also sponsoring the G1 Azizi Developments Al Quoz Sprint on Dubai World Cup day. We thank them once again for their support and wish them an enjoyable night of racing.”
Friday’s seven-race card contains three Group races, including a pair of Group 2s, the $180,000 Al Rashidiya, won in 2021 by the Charlie Appleby-trained Zakouski, and the Al Fahidi Fort, won last season by Land Of Legends, trained by Saeed bin Suroor. The card also features the Group 3 Dubawi Stakes, over 1200metres on dirt, a race made famous by Dubai racing legend Reynaldothewizard, who won it in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
In his comments, Mr Mirwais Azizi, Founder and Chairman of Azizi Developments, said: “We are proud and thrilled to once again, for the fifth time, sponsor and be part of this world-class event. The Dubai World Cup Carnival is an event that truly raises the bar for excellence every year and brings communities together to celebrate their love for a sport that is deeply rooted in the UAE’s culture and heritage. We will continue to sponsor high-profile events that put this magnificent emirate — a worldwide leader in both business and tourism – on the international stage.”
There are also three races for three-year-olds; the first running of the Dubai Trophy, over 1200metres on turf, the UAE 2000 Guineas Trial, over 1400metres on dirt, and the Jumeirah Derby Trial, over 1800metres on turf.
