The journey began when Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum witnessed elite horse racing in the UK in 1967, sparking a lifelong passion that evolved into a bold vision — to create a world-class racing event in Dubai. After early success as a racehorse owner, he founded Godolphin in 1992, establishing a “home team” that would represent Dubai on the global stage. This vision culminated in the launch of the Dubai World Cup in 1996, held at Meydan Racecourse, designed to rival iconic races like the Epsom Derby and Kentucky Derby. Over the years, the event has grown into one of the world’s richest and most prestigious horse races, blending sport, fashion, and international prestige, while cementing Dubai’s position as a global sporting hub. Do you think events like the Dubai World Cup play a major role in shaping a city’s global image, or is it more about tourism and entertainment?
