“The race meet on 22nd January is going to be one of the highlights of the 2015 racing season and we are truly excited to be title bearers of all the races on the card” said Duleep George, Executive Director – Strategy & Marketing, Gulf News. “This is also a very special lead-up to the 20th Dubai World Cup as we too celebrate our twenty year association with this prestigious event.”
