Dubai Racing Club (DRC) on Wednesday announced the launch of its revamped
official website, www.dubairacingclub.com, in the lead up to the 2010 Dubai
International Racing Carnival and the launch of its advertising campaign for the
season.
January 28 marks the first meeting of the Carnival at the new Meydan
Grandstand and Racecourse and will culminate with the 15th Dubai World Cup
(UAE-G1) on March 27.
Showcasing a countdown timer, racing calendar and program for the Carnival,
information on ticketing and dining are available on the website, including
rates for general admissions, packages, banqueting and corporate entertainment
at the Meydan Grandstand Suites. The site also premieres a new secure and
user-friendly booking engine and payment gateway to facilitate consumers who
wish to enjoy a night at the races at one of the several dining establishments
in Meydan.
Horsemen, including owners, trainers and jockeys, will also have quick and
easy access to crucial information, including details about rules and
regulations, application forms, quarantine and vaccination, transport, subsidies
and incentives, weight for age, international agents and track surfaces.
For all media representatives, the Media Centre will also be the essential
resource portal for all news, videos and photographs related to the Carnival.
The new DRC website will enable essential information, such as race cards,
form guides and results, to be pulled real-time via the Emirates Racing
Authority (ERA) website.
“The new Dubai Racing Club website is pivotal in how informative it is and
how it captures the passion and excitement behind the upcoming racing season at
Meydan,” said Saeed Humaid Al-Tayer, chairman of the board and CEO of Meydan.
“It also completes the customer experience for all those who wish to attend the
Dubai International Racing Carnival and we are pleased with how it also
champions horseracing globally.
“We are also always in the process of continually upgrading our value and
service offerings to empower our partners and customers, thereby ensuring that
they are exposed to global best practices and services that technology can
empower us to offer.”
