While playing Football World Cup\u00a0in the desert may not be a great ideal, running the world’s richest race is!<\/span><\/p>\n

This weekend we have two key events in the racing calendar , the highest profile being the Dubai World Cup in Meydan.\u00a0Here is another sports event I will make the effort to attend some day. For the moment, I\u2019m still sat behind my monitor taking an active interest in it from the other side.\u00a0The racecourse was designed to be spectacular and a draw to people all over the world and they have certainly achieved that. I\u2019m aching to get there at some point and will do so when the time is right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years the amount of liquidity on the races in Dubai has slowly crept up. Interest peaks in the racing here as we run into the\u00a0Dubai World Cup carnival<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and eventually the\u00a0Dubai World Cup itself in late march<\/span><\/a>. The activity on these markets is not the same as UK racing, but worth a look in-between the other races. On World Cup day individual race volume can be quite significant.\u00a0I\u2019ll be active on these markets today on top of my other activity. Five years ago I did a fantastic job on this race, so much so that I haven’t beaten it since. I’ll have another go this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

We will also be looking forward to the return of the flat turf season this weekend with the Lincoln at Doncaster.\u00a0We should rejoice at the return of the flat turf season. It\u2019s return will herald less clashing and generally bigger fields. In the winter it can be a right pain when you have many cards and all the races and are falling all over each other. This will mean you should see better opportunities and more, just around the corner. I\u2019ve produced a video for you to watch on the effects of the return of the turf which you can view below.<\/span><\/p>\n

In all it should be a very busy and potentially very profitable weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n
