“Sword of Honour” Race Night at Meydan: A Tribute to Excellence and UAE’s National Achievements

The Meydan Racecourse will host a remarkable event this Friday, January 5th, 2024, with the “Sword of Honour” race night, a celebration of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s prestigious achievement of receiving the Sword of Honour from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. The event, a tribute to national pride, will feature eight thrilling races, including the highly anticipated Zabeel Mile (Group 2), the Dubawi Stakes (Group 3), and special races named after the swords themselves.

This spectacular evening is not only a celebration of an individual’s success but an embodiment of the UAE’s spirit of excellence, leadership, and ambition. Highlighting key races like the Zabeel Mile, which sees San Donato aiming to replicate Safety Check’s dual victory, and the explosive Dubawi Stakes, where Tuz looks to defend his title, the race night promises a spectacular showcase of top-tier talent. The event reflects the values of hard work and dedication, as Sheikh Rashed Bin Dalmook Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Racing Club, noted, while emphasizing the importance of nurturing the country’s youth.

Fans and race enthusiasts can look forward to an unforgettable evening at Meydan, where equine champions will race for glory while honoring a legacy of national pride.
