"Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum attended the 30th Dubai World Cup - the world's richest horse racing event - at Meydan Racecourse on Saturday evening, alongside Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Footage shows Sheikh Mohammed and Sheikh Hamdan arriving at the venue and greeting attendees. Sheikh Mohammed welcomed jockeys, horse owners and breeders from around the world taking part in the event. He said the Dubai World Cup had grown over three decades into more than a horse race, describing it as an international event that brings together cultures from around the world and reinforces Dubai's position as a global centre for sport and horse racing. First held in 1996 at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse, the Dubai World Cup was launched as part of Sheikh Mohammed’s vision to establish Dubai as a leading destination for international sport, particularly equestrian competition. Jockey Florent Geroux won last year's edition at Meydan aboard Hit Show, trained by Brad Cox for Qatari owners Wathnan Racing."
