The G2 Al Maktoum Classic takes centre stage, offering a whopping AED1.7 million in prize money and attracting the fiercest competition.

These powerhouse horses are sure to deliver a thrilling, unforgettable show. Prepare for more excitement as the G2 Dubai City of Gold paves the way for the illustrious G1 Dubai Sheema Classic, and the G2 Singspiel Stakes promises another showdown—this time with automatic entry to the G1 Dubai Turf on the line. The race is set to feature Godolphin’s Nations Pride, a multiple G1 winner, and the British-trained star Cairo, making waves under trainer Alice Haynes. International flavour is added to the mix with two impressive Japanese entries: American Stage, trained by the renowned Yoshito Yahagi, in the Group 3 Mahab Al Shimaal, a thrilling lead-up to the G1 Golden Shaheen; and T O Saint Denis, under Daisuke Takayanagi’s guidance, in the G3 Burj Nahaar, looking to impress ahead of the G2 Godolphin Mile. However, don’t miss history in the making—if Tuz clinches the G3 Mahab Al Shimaal on Saturday, he’ll become the first horse to sweep the UAE’s Group dirt sprints in a single season. The excitement doesn’t end there—be sure to catch the Group 3 Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint, a warm-up for the G1 Al Quoz Sprint, featuring the defending champion British filly, Frost At Dawn. Plus, witness the thrilling conclusion of the three-year-old turf series with the Listed Jumeirah 1000 Guineas and Jumeirah 2000 Guineas, where rising stars look to make their mark.
