Doha: The Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club (QREC) will sponsor several races in different European countries during the coming months as part of QREC’s efforts to maintain its strong presence in these races, which attract the world’s top horses and renowned owners, trainers and jockeys. This comes as an extension of QREC’s sponsorship of major races at world-class racecourses, which has paid off in terms of benefiting from the prestige of such high-profile races and enhancing Qatar’s standing in the global racing scene as a major sponsor and contributor to raising the standard of these races for decades. The same standards of such prestigious races are also applied to races run in Doha during the annual local season with a view to attracting more international owners and trainers to run their horses in Qatar’s top races.
The advantages further include giving local owners and trainers the opportunity to be part of Europe’s famous races and Qatari-owned horses the experience of competing and confirming their merit in such highly challenging races. There will be several major and highly awaited races, sponsored by QREC, over the next months. Beside the two mega events of the Qatar Goodwood Festival in the UK and the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in France, which are most prestigious racing events sponsored by QREC throughout the year, there will be other races sponsored by QREC as well.
These include the Gr.2 PA Qatar Prix de l’Élevage, which will take place .
