Today, Abu Dhabi hosts the 33rd UAE President Cup — the richest night of Arabian Purebred racing, and a celebration of heritage at its most exquisite.
After Thursday’s atmospheric Barrier Draw, tonight we return to Abu Dhabi Turf Club, where world-class equestrian facilities meet the warmth of Emirati hospitality. With a global field led by powerhouse French contenders and a record AED 10.8M purse (approx. AUD $4.3M), the stage is set for a race steeped in both heritage and prestige.
For Equestrienne, this is far more than event coverage. It’s an exploration of the cultural lineage of the Arabian horse — a breed that has shaped traditions, identities, and whose spirit is woven through the very fabric of Emirati heritage.
Honoured to be here representing Australian equestrian media as we witness this celebration of culture, legacy, and world-class Arabian racing. 🏇✨🇦🇪 More to come as the race day unfolds
