Meydan Racecourse Fencing Required! – The richest prize in world horse racing will be decided on Saturday at a five-star race track in Dubai that we had a hand in developing.<\/p>\n

Dubai World Cup Day at the Meydan Racecourse is the richest day of racing globally, with a combined prize purse of $27.25m. The event features nine races, including the 2km invitation-only Dubai World<\/a> Cup run over the state-of-the-art Tapeta track introduced in 2010 and sponsored by Emirates Airline, with a staggering $10m pot for a single race, the biggest in the world.<\/p>\n

The day brings to an end the three-month-long Dubai World Cup<\/a> Carnival, a festival of high-class international racing which carries a total prize fund of more than $36m over 11 race meetings.<\/p>\n

In addition to the racing, the day is the United Arab Emirates\u2019 biggest social and sporting event<\/a>.  The UAE’s glitterati will enjoy the racing from the Apron, enclosed between the track and the grandstand by Zaun fencing<\/a>, sampling the hospitality from Le Lounge, the Irish Village and the world’s first luxury five-star trackside hotel, with a spectacular fireworks display and a concert from Jennifer Lopez to follow.<\/p>\n

Meydan’s owners turned to specialist equestrian supplier Duralock and premium British sports fencing<\/a> manufacturer Zaun when they embarked on the 67 million sq ft development to house 60,000 punters in the grandstands alone and 120,000 the entire race track.<\/p>\n

Zaun supplied 3.6km of Meydan Racecourse fencing around the track perimeter and to enclose spectator<\/a> areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
