Horse Racing in Dubai?

Horse racing in Dubai? Seems unlikely doesn't it? Well, where there's money, there's a way. After having built the world's largest indoor ski slope, the world's largest mall, the world's largest airport (under construction), the world's largest tower and the world's largest metro system, building a horse race course is like a walk in the park for the Dubai authorities.

To start off with, Dubai horse racing involves major players and a very huge amount of money. Majestic Arabian horses make their way through the course and what follows is an exciting finish. This is the typical scene at the Dubai racing club. There are several courses too in Dubai. For example, there's the course at Nad Al Sheba, there's one at Jebel Ali (the place where the world's largest airport is being built) and there are a few more interspersed within the desert kingdom.

Dubai's Sheikh(Dubai's supreme ruler) owns several horses and is the owner of the largest stable of fine-bred Arabian horses. There are several horse races that are held in Dubai, most of them being high stakes races(being held in Dubai, you cannot expect anything less).

Apart from these races, the world cup of horse racing is also held in Dubai and if you are a horse race fan, this is one event which you absolutely cannot afford to miss. Believe me. You will not regret it.

All in all, apart from all the million other attraction that Dubai has to offer, the horse racing events are like a cherry on top of a Sundae adding more glitz and glamor to the already over-the-top desert kingdom of Dubai.
