The prestigious UAE President’s Cup Series for Purebred Arabian Horses will make its 8th stop in the 32nd edition of the global series this Sunday at the Duindigt Turf Racecourse in The Hague, Netherlands.
This latest stage not only reflects the international scope of the UAE’s equestrian diplomacy but also marks a historic milestone: the richest Arabian horse race ever staged in Dutch history, with a prize pool of USD 100,000.
Launched in 1994, the UAE President’s Cup Series is the world’s longest-running racing series dedicated to Purebred Arabian horses. Its mission is to preserve and promote the cultural and genetic heritage of the Arabian breed while elevating its status within international racing circuits.
Backed by the unwavering support of the UAE’s leadership, the series spans continents, stopping at elite racecourses across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia.
From Chantilly to Churchill Downs, the cup has become a symbol of both prestige and deep cultural pride.
The Duindigt racecourse, the oldest in the Netherlands and one of its most iconic, will host a strong field of international runners, trainers, and jockeys. The race is expected to draw a sizable crowd, both on-site and via international broadcasts, with local Dutch equestrian fans relishing the opportunity to witness world-class Arabian racing on home turf.
Following The Hague, the UAE President’s Cup will continue its journey through Europe and the Middle East, with future stops scheduled in the UK, Belgium, and the UAE, culminating in a grand finale that will bring together the season’s top performers.
