DUBAL continues long-term sponsorship arrangement with Meydan Racecourse

Dubai Aluminium (DUBAL) makes its first Meydan Racecourse appearance of the new season on Thursday, November 21.

The primary aluminum producer, an industry leader in Dubai, has been a prized supporter of racing since 2005 and traditionally lends its name to one Racing at Meydan meeting and one Dubai World Cup Carnival meeting every season.

This week DUBAL sponsors a six-race, all-Thoroughbred card, highlighted by Meydan’s first Conditions race of the new term, an 1,800m outing worth Dh126,000. There is also a valuable support race on the same card, a 1,200m handicap with a prize purse of Dh110,000. All races will be staged on the all-weather track.

DUBAL’s Vice President Corporate Relations & International Affairs, Khalid Essa Buhumaid said: “A world-class aluminum smelter, and the nation’s industrial flagship, DUBAL is proud to sponsor Dubai Racing Club’s annual Racing at Meydan and Dubai World Cup Carnival meetings again for the 2013/2014 season.

“By partnering with this high-profile event for the past eight years, DUBAL has successfully promoted the social and economic growth of Dubai — to the benefit of the Emirate’s cosmopolitan population. Together, we shine.”

Malih Lahej Al Basti, Boardmember & Chairman Meydan Racing Committee, said: “DUBAL is now at the beginning of its ninth season as a sponsor with Dubai Racing Club and we believe that our continued success lies in forging these long-term partnerships with some of the UAE’s most highly-regarded companies.

“DUBAL is one of the key businesses in Dubai that has truly grasped the important role that our industry leaders play in growing this sport, which is so integral to Emirati culture.”
