The 27th Dubai World Cup on Saturday, March 25, is set to attract some of the world鈥檚 best trainers, jockeys and horses to Meydan Racecourse, and here are five things to watch out for.

The best horse in the world

He鈥檚 called Equinox, trained in Japan and he鈥檚 very, very good. He runs in the $6 million Longines Dubai Sheema Classic and is one of a record 27 Japanese runners on the night. Last year they won five races, how many trophies will they take home this time?

Frankie Dettori鈥檚 last ride in Dubai

He鈥檚 the world鈥檚 most famous jockey and he鈥檚 retiring at the end of the year. Dettori鈥檚 career was arguably made in Dubai thanks to his association with Godolphin. He鈥檚 won four editions of the Dubai World Cup and will defend last year鈥檚 title on Country Grammer which is likely to be his last ride at Meydan. Will we see that famous flying dismount one last time?

Cheer on your country

There are 130 horses from 13 different countries racing on Saturday, including five from Hong Kong, four from Ireland and one from Australia. Jockeys are from all over the world, including Spain, Panama and Brazil. Chances are there will be someone to cheer on from your country, or you can support the UAE through the formidable Godolphin team who have Rebel鈥檚 Romance, Nations Pride and Real World among a plethora of strong chances.

A spectacular 鈥� but secret finale

Due to the holy month of Ramadan, there is no post-race concert this year but the closing ceremony promises to be spellbinding. Expect fireworks, drones, lights 鈥� the rest is being kept a closely guarded secret.

High Style Stakes

Fancy yourself a fashionista? There鈥檚 more than $81,200 (AED300,000) worth of prizes up for grabs in the Style Stakes which now features a new Best Traditional Outfit category. You鈥檝e got to be in it to win it as they say 鈥� and that includes you, gentlemen.
