Past Winning Teams at the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup, Key Ascot Contacts 2 THE DUBAI DUTY FREE SHERGAR CUP • The Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup is the world’s premier jockeys’ competition, a unique event where top riders in four teams - Great Britain & Ireland, Europe, the Rest of the World and The Girls - battle against each other in a thrilling six-race showdown. • The Girls team is captained by Canada’s leading female rider Emma-Jayne Wilson . Joining her is Britain’s Hayley Turner and Steffi Hofer , daughter of two-time champion German trainer Mario Hofer and the first woman to ride a Group winner in Germany. Australian jockey Craig Williams leads the Rest Of The World team, which features South African star S’manga Khumalo and Japanese rider Yuichi Funkunaga . Team Europe is headed by Frankie Dettori , who is accompanied by French ace Olivier Peslier and Dutch legend Adrie de Vries . Frankel’s jockey Tom Queally captains the Great Britain & Ireland team which consists of reigning British champion jockey Richard Hughes and Classic-winning pilot Jimmy Fortune . • The six races are limited to 10 runners with either two or three horses racing for each team (this will balance itself out over the course of the afternoon), and points are awarded on a 15, 10, 7, 5, 3 basis to the first five horses home (non runners score 4 points). Subject to full fields, each jockey has five rides and the team with the highest total after the sixth race lifts the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup. • All six races are handicaps and all will be run with identical prize money - £40,000 per race (up from £30,000 last year). • There are three reserves per race this year (previously there were two reserves). • Owners have a fantastic opportunity on Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Day - there are no entry fees for the races, there is prize money down to last place (with reserves that miss out on a run paid £500 appearance money) and there is complimentary hospitality throughout the day. • Dubai Duty Free has been associated with the Shergar Cup since its inception, initially as team sponsor of the Rest of the World team and as a race sponsor. In 2006, the company became title sponsor for the first time and this year takes over sponsorship of the entire event. • The Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup is being run for the 14th time at Ascot. The Shergar Cup first took place at Ascot in 2000 when it was staged as an owners’ competition. It became a jockeys’ competition in 2001 and has gone from strength to strength ever since, attracting bumper crowds year after year. It did not take place in 2005 when the racecourse was being redeveloped. • The jockeys competing in the four-team Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup will again wear full team colours at this year’s renewal. Please see the jockeys’ biographies section (pages 10 -13) for further information on this year’s team colours. • Cheerleaders will welcome the winning rider back after each race and be part of the opening and closing ceremonies. • This year’s post-race festivities include a concert boasting some of Britain's favourite music acts. Vernon Kay will host a line-up including Scouting For Girls, the Stars Of The Commitments, Bjorn Again, B*witched and, the one and only, Chesney Hawkes. A free fairground throughout the day and evening rounds off the fun. 3 ORDER OF RUNNING Saturday, August 9, 2014 The Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup The Dubai Duty Free 12.55 More4 Shergar Cup Dash Stakes 3+ £40,000 Five furlongs pm (Handicap) (Class 2)(86-105) The Dubai Duty Free More4 1.30 pm Shergar Cup Stayers 4+ £40,000 Two miles (Handicap) (Class 2)(81-100) The Dubai Duty Free One mile & CH4 2.05 pm Shergar Cup Challenge 4+ £40,000 four furlongs (Handicap) (Class 3)(76-95) The Dubai Duty Free CH4 2.40 pm Shergar Cup Mile 4+ £40,000 Old mile (Handicap) (Class 2)(81-100) The Dubai Duty Free One mile & CH4 3.15 pm Shergar Cup Classic 3 £40,000 four furlongs (Handicap) (Class 3)(76-95) The Dubai Duty Free CH4 3.50 pm Shergar Cup Sprint 3 £40,000 Six furlongs (Handicap) (Class 2)(81-100) ADMISSION DETAILS Admission prices on the day are as follows (discounts for booking in advance): Premier Admission £45 General Admission £30 Free admission for accompanied children aged 18 and under.

Watch them play the Swedish supergroup's hits live at the Shergar Cup. 5 CON-HORSE-TIONIST ACROBATS FORM 6FT HUMAN RACEHORSE RIDDEN BY STEFFI HOFER PASSING THE WINNING POST AT ASCOT RACECOURSE TO CELEBRATE THE DUBAI DUTY FREE SHERGAR CUP Key Facts • 10 = number of acrobats to make the human racehorse • 5 = number of hours for hair and make up • 7 = number of hours to create the figure • 6ft = final height of the horse To celebrate the world’s premier international jockeys’ competition, the upcoming Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup, a giant racehorse cleverly created out of contortionists, was unveiled on July 21 at Ascot Racecourse. Painted in elaborate body art, the 6ft-figure was made up of 10 contortionists and it took seven hours to create the striking image of a racehorse ridden by German jockey, Stefanie Hofer passing the winning post at the famous racecourse. Hofer will be making her debut at the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup this year as part of The Girls team, alongside Canadian Emma-Jayne Wilson and Brit, Hayley Turner. Ascot Racecourse enlisted a team of talented contortionists, courtesy of Scarlett Entertainment, and used make-up artists, Civilised Mess, to transform the human bodies using detailed animal artwork. It took the make-up artists five hours of intricate work to fully complete the body paintwork. Civilised Mess has previously created designs for Cirque Le Soir and Slamboree. Nick Smith, Head of Communications and International Racing at Ascot Racecourse, said: “This year we wanted to do something genuinely different to celebrate our renewed and enhanced partnership with Dubai Duty Free, who have extended their support of the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup by becoming sole sponsor from this year. The Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup is a unique competition and deserved something striking to mark its place on the calendar. The acrobats and Steffi performed miracles to produce this pose and we hope everyone will agree that it is fascinating to see them transformed into the image of a winning racehorse passing the post at Ascot.” 6 Dubai Duty Free announced as official sponsors at Ascot including enhanced Shergar Cup rights Ascot Racecourse was delighted to announce on April 25 that Dubai Duty Free have become official sponsors at Ascot for the first time with annual benefits headlined by continued title sponsorship of the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup for a further three years. The world’s biggest duty free operator was also confirmed as having exclusive naming rights to all six races on the Shergar Cup card. Dubai Duty Free have been involved with Ascot since the move of the team jockeys’ competition from Goodwood in 2000, first as Rest of the World team sponsors and, from 2006, as event sponsors.
