Mahmood Al Zarooni: Owner ‘Sheikh Mohammed is amazing’
But, with a victory from his first runner as Godolphin’s new trainer – at Meydan on Dubai World Cup night – a third in the Derby and a head defeat in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, it isn’t one he’s been called on to practise on his new boss, Sheikh Mohammed.
Meydan second best
Mohammad A. Nasser Al Khayat, Commercial Director of Meydan, said, “‘It is indeed an honour for us to be recognised globally by the recent SportsPro poll. Seeing that we have only just launched the Meydan Grandstand and Racecourse as part of our first phase of the Racecourse District in Meydan City, and more so when one realises that this is only a glimpse of the full scope of what it will eventually encompass.”

The Meydan Hotel, Dubai
The Meydan has a total of 285 rooms and suites. On the sixth floor, like most other Meydan rooms, ours featured a balcony big enough to seat two from which you have a direct view of the finishing posts. Cam squealed on wandering into the bathroom (“the biggest bath, with a television screen”), I squealed having collapsed on the vast bed.
