  • UAE’s Saeed Hamoud Al Khayari aboard 8-year-old Dahi was crowned champion of the Dubai Crown Prince Endurance Cup on a memorable day as he registered the biggest win of his career.

    Al Khayari completed the four loops in a time of 04:20:28, over two minutes ahead of his closest rival and compatriot Ahmed Ali Saif Al Nassiri, who finished second aboard Vista Du Barthas.

    The purpose-built Dubai International Endurance City played host to the prestigious CEI** 120 km Dubai Crown Prince Endurance Cup. HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, along with His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, The Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council, were at the venue to witness the ride.

    Speaking after the win, Al Khayari said: “This is one of the most important races in the UAE, and I am very pleased to have won such a prestigious race in front of the people of the UAE. There were over 400 participants, from all over the world, and it was a very strong field, with representatives from well-established local and international stables, and some top-ranked international riders, so this win was an important one for me.”
