The Dubai Racing Club is a Dubai-based organization in the spectator sports sector that organizes and hosts horseracing at Meydan Racecourse during the November-to-March season, including the Dubai Racing Carnival and the Dubai World Cup. The Dubai World Cup is a flagship event with a prize pool totaling US$30.5 million across nine races, including a US$12 million purse for the main contest. Meydan Racecourse is described as the world's largest integrated horseracing facility, featuring a Grandstand half a mile long and capacity for more than 80,000 spectators. The club was founded in 1992 under the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the club operates within the spectator sports industry and serves racing enthusiasts and television audiences through live events and associated media partnerships. In early 2026 it announced collaborations to create a global marketplace dedicated to equine tokenisation in partnership with Tokinvest, signaling an expansion into digital asset initiatives surrounding racing.
