Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 1 Journalists Posted April 1 The $12-million G1 Dubai World Cup will be run an hour later than originally planned at Meydan on Saturday, after the Dubai Racing Club took the decision on Tuesday to delay the start time for all nine races on the glittering card due to an unforeseen weather forecast. The gates at Meydan will now open at 2.30pm (local time), with the first race–the G1 Dubai Kahayla Classic for Purebred Arabians–set for 4.35pm (local time). The main event, the Dubai World Cup, will conclude the card at 9.30pm (local time). Sheikh Rashed bin Dalmook Al Maktoum, chairman of the Dubai Racing Club, said, “Ensuring the safety and well-being of horses, jockeys and guests is our top priority, [so] the decision has been made to adjust the start time of the Dubai World Cup day. We remain fully committed to delivering an exceptional event filled with thrilling horseracing, world class hospitality and a truly magical atmosphere befitting the Dubai World Cup.” The post Dubai Racing Club Announce Schedule Changes for World Cup Night appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
