“We are exciting about launching the Dubai World Cup Bonus Series,” said Major General Dr. Mohammed Essa Al Adhab, Executive Director of Dubai Racing Club. “History has shown, through the likes of Dubai Millennium, Curlin and California Chrome, among others, that racing in Dubai prior to the Dubai World Cup can be an advantage, so we would like to further encourage trainers to do this by offering an added 10% to the purse if horses win both races.”
