The sponsorship covers all nine races of the evening, marking Azizi’s continued partnership with the Dubai Racing Club for the eighth consecutive year.

The event kicks off at 5:30 PM with the Dubai Trophy, a competitive three-year-old turf contest featuring a prize of AED 350,000 for the winning owner. This will be followed by the Azizi Riviera Handicap at 6:05 PM and the Azizi Mina Handicap at 6:40 PM, both showcasing elite thoroughbreds. The highlight of the evening, the Lord Glitters Handicap, promises thrilling competition with a prize of AED 350,000. Additionally, the Vazirabad Handicap, a 2,410-meter endurance test, is set for 9:00 PM, before concluding with the Azizi Wasl race at 9:35 PM.

Mr. Farhad Azizi, Group CEO of Azizi Developments, emphasized the company's commitment to the UAE's equestrian heritage, stating:
"We are pleased to support the Dubai Racing Carnival once again, reinforcing Dubai’s status as a global hub for world-class sporting events. Our long-standing collaboration with the Dubai Racing Club aligns with our mission of bringing communities together and celebrating the UAE’s rich traditions."

His Excellency Ali Al Ali, CEO and Board Member of the Dubai Racing Club, welcomed Azizi’s continued partnership, highlighting their role in elevating the racing experience at Meydan. “Azizi Developments has been an invaluable partner for multiple seasons, also sponsoring the G1 Azizi Developments Al Quoz Sprint at the Dubai World Cup meeting. We look forward to an exciting evening of competition and thank them for their unwavering support.”

Among the evening’s standout races, the Zabeel Mile, with a prize of AED 850,000, is set to draw strong contenders, along with the Group 3 Dubawi Stakes, a key preparatory race for the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen on March 30.

Beyond horse racing, Azizi Developments is actively shaping Dubai’s urban landscape, particularly in MBR City, where it is delivering Riviera—a French-Mediterranean-inspired waterfront community featuring 75 mid- and high-rise buildings, 16,000 residences, and a 2.7 km-long swimmable crystal lagoon. Strategically located near Meydan One Mall and Meydan Racecourse, Riviera stands as a premier lifestyle and retail destination in Dubai.
