This is high stakes racing, with up to US$1m available in prize money at a single meeting, attracting racing’s jet set owners, trainers and jockeys. Race day style also ramps up a notch as the racing frenzy builds towards the season finale with Dubai World Cup – the richest day of racing on the planet.

With US$35m prize money available across nine races, including US$12m at stake in the title contest, the Dubai World Cup trophy is one of the most coveted on the international calendar and attracts the absolute cream of world-class racing.

The fashion stakes are also high with elegant ladies and gentlemen vying for the title of ‘Best Dressed’ in the popular Meydan Style Stakes competition. Hats and fascinators are the order of the day as the crowds in the 60,000-seater Grandstand enjoy Dubai’s biggest sporting and social spectacle from Meydan’s luxurious hospitality venues.

While it makes headlines for the world-famous race days it hosts, Meydan Racecourse and Grandstand also represents a major business and conference venue and one of Dubai’s premier lifestyle, entertainment and sports destinations.

Combined with The Meydan Hotel, the world’s first five-star trackside hotel, Meydan offers a purpose-built events space and the flexibility to transform it from a conference or exhibition space to a concert venue, film shoot location and everything in between.

The architecturally fascinating Sky Bubble draws the eye from miles away and offers guests 360° views of Dubai from its giant triangular windows while below, The Apron, which becomes the party scene during Dubai World Cup, hosts large-scale concerts and festivals throughout the year.
