New Jumeirah Series on Turf Added to Dubai World Cup Carnival

Following the announcement last week of a purse increase to $30.5 million for Dubai World Cup night, a new four-race Jumeirah Series on turf for the Classic generation at the Dubai World Cup Carnival was revealed on Thursday. In addition, a new race has been added to the Mar. 5 Super Saturday card-the $300,000 Ras Al Khor over 1400 metres on grass.

Sheikh Rashid bin Dalmook, Chairman of Dubai Racing Club, said, “The introduction of new races within the framework of the Dubai World Cup Carnival is part of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's effort to continually improve Dubai's equestrian offering and support racing both within the UAE and overseas. Fourteen-hundred metres, or seven furlongs, is one of the most popular distances in thoroughbred racing yet has very few high valued feature events run over the trip. We believe the Ras Al Khor will eventually become a global fixture that will be promoted to our Dubai World Cup meeting.”

The DWCC, which begins on Jan. 13, will also feature enhanced purses for the sophomore open dirt Classic races.

Sheikh Rashid bin Dalmook, added, “Moreover, the Classic generation are well catered for on both turf and dirt in the upcoming season. Longstanding 3-year-old dirt events such as the UAE 2000 Guineas, Al Bastikaya and UAE Derby have all been given prizemoney increases. We have also introduced the Jumeirah Series of turf races which is a significant addition to the program. The series features the US$150,000 Jumeirah Classic Trial over 1400m, the US$75,000 Jumeirah Derby Trial over 1800m, the US$150,000 Jumeirah Classic over 1600m and the US$200,000 Jumeirah Derby over 2000m.”

As previously announced, during Dubai World Cup week the Dubai World Cup Breeze-Up Sale in association with Goffs will be held for the first time. All Dubai World Cup night races will also boast prizemoney of at least $1 million, the G1 Longines Sheema Classic will now be worth $6 million; the G1 Dubai Turf will be run for $5 million; and the G1 Dubai World Cup, sponsored by Emirates Airline, will offer $12 million in prizemoney.

New Dubai World Cup Breeze-Up Sale to Be Conducted By Goffs

The new Dubai World Cup Breeze-Up Sale in association with Goffs will be conducted by the Irish sales company on Mar. 24, 2022, the Dubai Racing Club (DRC) announced on Sunday.

Held during Dubai World Cup week, the sale will have a maximum size of 69 2-year-olds that will be sourced from vendors by Goffs which will appeal to both local and international buyers. All lots will undergo a full veterinary examination prior to departure to ensure full transparency and buyer confidence.

Sheikh Rashid bin Dalmook Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Racing Club said, “The UAE, Dubai and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum have long been great supporters of the sport. Therefore, we are excited to host the Middle East's first breeze-up sale, and also the first ever online sale to be conducted in the Gulf and Middle East region to enhance our owners' exposure to high quality horses. We are partnering with a world-renowned auction house and together we are taking steps towards creating a bright future for the sport in the UAE.

“As far as the potential horses are concerned, they look like a very exciting bunch of young horses who will hopefully bring plenty of success for their new owners. In addition, Dubai World Cup week is a meeting point for leading owners and bloodstock professionals from Europe, the USA, Australasia and Asia and as such we are hoping for strong trade at the inaugural Dubai World Cup Breeze-up Sale.”

Added Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby, “We are extremely grateful to the Dubai Racing Club for the confidence they have shown in the Goffs service by entrusting this prestigious sale to us. We look forward to working with Sheikh Rashid bin Dalmook, the Chairman of Dubai Racing Club and his team to deliver a world class event a day before the eve of the world's most prestigious race. We have a long and successful track record in the breeze-up sphere having held Europe's first breeze-up sale at Doncaster back in 1977 which also proved the source of the first European Classic winner from a breeze-up in Speciosa (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) who won the English 1000 Guineas. It will be a privilege to conduct a sale of this stature in Dubai at the invitation of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed.”

All of the juveniles will undergo quarantine in Dubai prior to the sale and gallop on the dirt track at Meydan on Mar. 23, 2022. There will be no official times for 2-year-olds, but instead they will be galloped on the bridle. Nominations for the sale will be open in due course, with stable visits taking place following the yearling sales season. The visits will be led by Nick Nugent and Tom Taaffe, the latter of whom brokered the deal on behalf of Goffs.
