LONDON: Horse racing authorities in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain are set for talks in the coming months about enhanced coordination to develop the sport in the region.
They will discuss equine quarantine procedures and ease of travel, as well as race scheduling and the sharing of knowledge and information among owners and breeders in the three countries.
Initial talks will involve the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain’s Rashid Equestrian and Horse Racing Club, and Dubai Racing Club.
Racing authorities in the three countries believe there is scope for a more coordinated approach to the sport in the region, which they say would be mutually beneficial and eventually expand to include other countries in the wider Gulf Cooperation Council area.
