Letter from the Chairman

As we approach the 2023-24 season, I am delighted to announce that the Bahrain International Trophy, our showpiece event, has been raised substantially in prize value, to $1,000,000, as well as being promoted to Group 2 status.

The progress we have made in recent years is evident in the growth of international participation. The previous season illustrated this with participants from six different nations competing in the Bahrain International Trophy.

Additionally, the Crown Prince’s Cup and the King’s Cup were won by top-class horses trained in Dubai, and trainers based in the United Kingdom claimed victories in the second edition of the Bahrain Turf Series.

In alignment with this progress, our investment programme extends beyond prize money. We are making significant improvements to our racing and training facilities, as well as strengthening our integrity standards. Our ambition is to ensure that the quality and competitive nature of racing in Bahrain matches the warm welcome we extend to all visitors to the Kingdom.

We look forward to seeing you here.
