The historic Newbury Racecourse in the United Kingdom will host the UAE President\u2019s Cup for Purebred Arabian Horses on Friday, as part of the calendar of the 33rd edition.<\/p>\n
The Cup series is staged in support of plans to develop the Arabian horse racing industry and to sustain the backing of owners and breeders around the world, encouraging them to acquire and breed Arabian horses. This work helps preserve the breed\u2019s authentic heritage, elevate its standing and strengthen its presence at the most significant international festivals and racecourses.<\/p>\n
The United Kingdom leg carries particular significance within the current edition, with the Cup race staged for the first time at Newbury, a course founded in 1905.<\/p>\n
Newbury now joins the list of leading global venues to have hosted races in the series, alongside ParisLongchamp, Churchill Downs, Doncaster and San Siro, reflecting the standing the Prestigious Cup has attained and the success of its partnerships with the most important international racecourses and festivals.<\/p>\n
The 1,600-metre race will be run on turf and is open to three-year-old Purebred Arabians at Group 3 level. It will feature a field of promising horses representing leading owners and studs, with prize money of \u00a3150,000.<\/p>\n
The field brings together a select group of promising Purebred Arabian horses representing leading owners and studs. Nehmo de Carrere (AF Albahar \u00d7 Panita de Carrere), owned by Sheikh Khalaf Rabah Alshammari, is trained by Xavier Thomas-Demeaulte and will be ridden by Guillaume Guedj-Gay.<\/p>\n
Amir Athbah (Assaf Al Khalediah \u00d7 Jaazmah Athbah), representing Athbah Racing, is trained by Philip Collington and will be ridden by Jean-Bernard Eyquem. Eljas du Bienn (Muntaser Al Khalediah \u00d7 Djaiza du Bienn), owned by Sheikh Hamed Khadim Butti Al Hamed, is trained by J. F. Bernard and will be ridden by Antoine Werle.<\/p>\n

Newbury is the first of two United Kingdom legs within the 33rd edition\u2019s agenda. Doncaster Racecourse will host the second on 12th September, staged within the historic St Leger Festival. Together they represent a distinguished British presence that reflects the global standing of the Prestigious Cup and the commitment to strengthening the profile of the Purebred Arabian horse at Europe\u2019s most important racecourses.<\/p>\n
Faisal Al Rahmani, Secretary-General of the Higher Organising Committee of the UAE President\u2019s Cup for Purebred Arabian Horses, said, \u2018We are pleased to stage the Prestigious Cup races for the first time at the historic Newbury Racecourse, which represents a qualitative addition to the agenda of the 33rd edition and reflects the distinguished global standing the series has established at the world\u2019s major international racecourses, thanks to substantial support of the wise leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that the selection of Newbury reflects the Higher Organising Committee\u2019s commitment to staging races at historic courses and within the most important global festivals, providing ideal competitive opportunities for owners and breeders. It encourages them to continue their engagement with the breeding and care of Arabian horses, to raise production levels and to enrich the breed\u2019s journey with new champions capable of shaping its future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
