As someone who follows horse racing in Mumbai and Dubai, this is exciting news! The Sharjah track has excellent facilities. Perfect weekend entertainment for Indian expats in UAE.
While I appreciate the sport, I hope they're ensuring proper animal welfare standards. Sometimes these racing events can be quite demanding on the horses. Just a concerned thought.
The timing is perfect! Planning to visit Dubai in December, might catch the 21st or 28th December race. Any Indian tourists here who've attended these events before?
UAE continues to develop world-class sporting infrastructure. Meanwhile in India, we struggle to maintain our existing racecourses. Something our sports authorities should learn from.
Great to see international sporting events in our neighborhood! Hope they include some cultural elements too. The blend of Arabian horses and traditional Emirati culture would be amazing to experience. 🇦🇪
