Royal Ascot 2010: Byword ensures Khalid Abdulla’s reign continues
A French horse took the feature race at Royal Ascot for the second day running when Byword, trained by Andre Fabre, continued Khalid Abdulla’s fantastic season by leading home a one-two for the owner in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes.
Property disputes up last year
One of the biggest cases to emerge last year was between Arabtec Holding, the UAE’s largest construction company, and Meydan Group, the developer behind the Meydan Racecourse in Dubai.
Jumeirah Meydan Hotel
The Meydan Hotel has an excellent location in Dubai, and is just a 10-minute drive from the Dubai International Convention Center and a 20-minute drive from the Dubai International Airport.
Emirati jockey blazing own path

War Artist isn’t the sort of horse to back at short odds, given his inconsistent profile. He finished a long way behind Joy And Fun in Hong Kong last December and was again put in his place by that rival in Dubai afterwards.
Tattenham Corner
References to the new hotel at Meydan racecourse were found to be particularly in breach of the rule. “The item about the hotel adopted a tone, style and use of language that was not appropriate and did not integrate editorially with the rest of the event coverage,” stated Ofcom.

The team behind The Meydan
The Meydan Hotel held its grand launch at the Dubai World Cup this year, welcoming more than 80,000 race goers just weeks after its soft opening on March 4. With 285 rooms spread over eight floors, many with panoramic views of the racecourse, The Meydan is designed to impress.
