Well, it’s done. The first race at the new Meydan Racecourse in Dubai was held on Thursday, 28 Jan 2010 (about 2 months later than originally planned). Fitting that the first race was won by jockey Richard Hills on No Risk Al Maury, owned by Sheikh Hamdan Al-Maktoum.
I worked on that project for almost two years. Never got to see the last year of it though.
I’m not surprised that the opening was low-key, and there was “relief among officials that the gigantic grandstand had passed the first test without any major glitches” (source: UK’s Telegraph).
Watch out for the end of March. That’ll be the big night.
