Its purpose was to highlight the value of the Arabian horse, raising their stature and celebrating the heritage of the Emirates on an international scope, until it became the most important and oldest classic racing in the entire world.
The President of the UAE Cup has become the most remarkable event, which draws the elite Arabian racehorse owners and the finest of the breed to race under the guidance of the best trainers and jockeys.
Every year, the cup is held under the generous patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE President, may God protect him.
The race series is organized and conducted under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Presidential Affairs.
This is based on their keen interest with the journey of the Arabian horses, the preservation of this authentic heritage and their generous support for the sustainability of plans that raise its status in all international racecourses. This is an extension of the vision and path of the late founder, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul.
