Today, January 28th, is the major launch of the new facility for horse racing in Dubai. Here, the purse will be high. There will be very few races with a first prize less than 100.000 U.S. dollars.
In March, a big race in gallop will take place and the first prize is 10 million U.S. dollars.
People could join the race by applying to Dubai's ruling Sheikh Mohammed. If the horse gets approved, you will get everything paid for in connection with the race. The new facility and race track is absolutely fantastic according to jockeys from around the world.
The Swedish Calrissian, which is Sweden's fastest sprinter, will compete in Dubai during the Dubai International Racing Carnival. To compete in warm Dubai probably makes life a little nicer than competing at Sweden´s “Täby gallop” where the prize money for first prize usually is about 15 thousand SEK (approximately 2,000 U.S. dollars).
