His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, Chairman of The Bahrain Turf Club, said, “We have welcomed more connections from around the world to The Kingdom of Bahrain this season, with 20 international horses competing in the second year of the Bahrain Turf Series. We have seen some very competitive racing throughout the Turf Series and it's been brilliant to see leading international trainers Charlie Appleby, David O'Meara and George Baker enjoy success in the Kingdom.
“We are looking forward to evolving the Tuf Series further and welcoming International connections back in Bahrain next season.”
