​

One of the most anticipated events in the Dubai sporting calendar, this is an event that the equestrian community and enthusiasts had been waiting for.

​

​

The Dubai Golden Shaheen is one of the most competitive races on the card. Inaugurated in 1996, it has an illustrious roll of honour including Caller One and Mind Your Biscuits, the only dual winners, as well as Reynaldothewizard, one of the most popular horses to run in Dubai in recent years.

​

The afternoon and evening were spent by spectators cheering on the races, with Nakheel guests enjoying the hospitality in the Nakheel suite. People watching was another sport, as attendees turned out in their finest outfits and hats, with prizes given for the best dressed in the style stake competition.
