Emirates sponsor full race card at Jebel Ali
Sponsorships help build Dubai’s credentials as premier sports hub, Majid says
for a long time. “We believe that sports sponsorship is an excellent way of connecting with our sponsors, by sharing in and supporting their interest and passions,” he added.
“Beside the Dubai World Cup (G1), which we have supported since its inception in 1996, we also sponsor such diverse horse racing events around the world at Newmarket and York in Britain, the Breeders’ Cup in the United States of America, the Curragh in Ireland and the Melbourne Cup in Australia.
“These and other Emirates sports sponsorships also have helped to build Dubai’s credentials as the regional premier tourist, business, sports and financial hub” Shaikh Majid said.
“I would like to thank [Major General] Shaikh Ahmad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, [Deputy Chief of Dubai Police and Public Security] and the Jebel Ali Racecourse for their cooperation in making the Emirates Airline Race Day possible.
Unique place
Shareef Al Halawani, Jebel Ali Racecourse Manager, thanked Emirates for their support of Friday’s races, which will be held under the banner of the Umm Suqueim meeting.
“Shaikh Ahmad gives importance to all race meetings held at Jebel Ali Racecourse, which has created a unique place for itself in the UAE as a family racecourse,” Al Halawani said.
“Shaikh Ahmad is keen to serve the community through the sport of horse racing and invites all racegoers to attend the races.”
Friday’s meeting is the eighth of the 2017-2018 UAE Racing season to be held at Jebel Ali.
