Doha: Quality abounds among a massive 306-horse entry for the six international races at the biggest event on the Qatari racing calendar, the $4.34m Amir Sword Festival, which will be held at Al Rayyan Racecourse in Doha from February 18-20.
The Festival’s two centrepieces are a pair of $1m races, the 58-entry Amir Trophy (Presented by Longines), for thoroughbreds, and The Amir Sword (Sponsored by Al Hazm) for purebred Arabians. Both will be run over a mile and a half (2400m) on Saturday, February 20.
