The full day of racing has a total of US$27.25 million in prize money across the nine-race card. You can imagine that race fans across the world are interested in betting on this racecard. In addition to the Dubai World cup at US$10 million, the Dubai Sheema and Classic Dubai Duty Free both carry a hefty purse of US$5 million for each race.

The Dubai World Cup raceday features three of the most valuable contests in the world of racing: the US$5 million Dubai Sheema Classic, presented by Longines, the US$5 million Dubai Duty Free, sponsored by Dubai Duty Free and the famed US$10 million Dubai World Cup, sponsored by Emirates Airlines.

The Dubai Cup betting season begins in early November with “Racing at Meydan” a showcase of nine race meetings spread over the months of November through March.

The Meydan Grandstand and Racecourse was completed in 2010 and builds upon the 14-year legacy established by Nad Al Sheba. An amazing betting facility, Meydan is an ultimate venue for horseracing that further sets the standards for luxury and propels the United Arab Emirates' horseracing scene to greater heights on the international level.
