Dubai: High-quality race returns to Newbury with the Group 2 Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes being the highlight of the two-day Dubai Duty Free International Weekend on Friday and Saturday.
The action on the track is guaranteed to be of the highest quality with the Group 3 Dubai International Airport World Trophy and two valuable handicaps preceding Saturday’s £90,000 Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes.
Friday’s seven-race card is highlighted by the Dubai Duty Free Cup a Listed event for three-year-olds and over and run over a distance of seven furlongs.
