Regularly unduly snubbed by the thoroughbred world in the UK, the championship event saw 27 international runners from around the world and the feature Gr.1PA Dubai International Stakes went to the French Classic-winning trainer Francois Rohaut, who landed the 2012 Gr.1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains with Lucayan, with last year’s top-rated three-year-old Muraaqib (Munjiz) to give Sheikh Hamdan his 13th victory in the ten- furlong contest.

Spotlight ~ CONTINUED trainers to saddle both thoroughbred and arabian horses, and even trotters if they wish, but unfortunately the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) forbids trainers in Britain to have a licence for both, thus limiting the opportunities for the sport in this country. Furthermore, its quarantine rules practically see them as a different species and do not allow them to be stabled in the same unit as thoroughbreds at a licensed training yard or on the occasional day where they allow them to run on a thoroughbred card. Expensive temporary stabling has to be erected or they have to run straight from the horsebox, even though they have the same stringent vaccination and medical programme as their more popular counterparts. Cheers all round for the Arabian Rainbow competition winners. Thanks to the hard work and commitment to arabian racing by the likes of Sheikh Hamdan the and the Arabian Triple Crown sponsor Qatar, the sport is firmly on the world stage and offers are started with a tape and the expensive photo finish equipment excellent opportunities at the top end.

From an attendance point of view, nearly 10,000 people made the trip to the Berkshire track and each was given a gift pack by the patron. They were entertained throughout the day with activities from face painting to henna tattoos, pony rides and a falconry exhibition, to competitions for the best dressed lady and best children’s hat, as well as free prize draws for designer watches, holidays to Dubai and even a brand new car. The popular Arabian Rainbow Community Art Project brightened the track as 14 local schools had painted imaginative designs on model horses standing over 2m tall. Introduced by Sheikh Hamdan in 1999, he has generously donated more than £80,000 towards enriching education in the region and this year’s £2,500 first prize went to Englefield CE Primary School.
