The new state-of-the-art Meydan racecourse is hosting the 2010 "Dubai World Cup".<br /><br />All previous Dubai World Cups have been hosted on a dirt surface (Nad El Sheba racecourse). Meydan racecourse is a synthetic (Tapeta) surface. The grandstand is 5 furlongs in length and the total cost to build Meydan racecourse was one billion dollars. The Meydan race course can be mistaken for an airport due to its size (76 million square feet and includes a hotel, a museum, ten restaurants, a marina, an IMAX theater, and a canal. The canal flows into a lake, where Sheikh Mohammed and his entourage will disembark at the racecourse's boathouse. The canal links the Business Bay (near the Emirates Towers) on busy Sheikh Zayed Rd, to Meydan racecourse.<br /><br />The 2010 "Dubai World Cup" is March 27, 2010. The 2010 "Dubai World Cup" is worth a staggering 10 million dollars. The 2009 "Dubai World Cup" was worth 6 million dollars.<br /><br />Note:<br />If Zenyatta wins the 2010 "Dubai World Cup", she will eclipse Curlin's North American earnings record.War Admiralnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934167006275624061.post-20419507966839149832010-01-08T10:48:47.267-08:002010-01-08T10:48:47.267-08:00:):)zraceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634464343484248190noreply@blogger.com
