The horses mentioned are intriging. I'd just caution that in light of current circumstances, it is not advisable for Americans to go to Dubai.
Conflict in the area could be tragic for those with a primary interest in horse racing. Sad to say.

I checked the Bureau of Consular Affairs and found no travel advisories for the U.A.E. right now. There are warnings for much/most of the Middle East, but the U.A.E. is not on the list. Dubai has thus far remained a non-violent safe-haven in the middle of chaos.

Brian,
Thanks for checking. I was just giving a "heads up", as Dubai is majority Sunni. Mine was not a formal warning, rather for informative purposes based on current events.
Good luck to those that decide to go.
