Azizi Developments activates post-position draw for 2023 Dubai World Cup

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 23 March 2023: As part of its established partnership with the Dubai Racing Club, Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, is sponsoring the Al Quoz Sprint race at the Dubai World Cup on 25 March. As a pillar sponsor of the event, Azizi Developments activated the random draw at Armani, Burj Khalifa to determine the starting positions for the race. This draw assigns each horse a stall number, which is important for races on straight courses since the track bias can change from race to race.

The Al Quoz Sprint is the 1200-meter turf race with a USD 1,500,000 purse and the fourth race of the 2023 Dubai World Cup. 

In his comments, Mr. Farhad Azizi, CEO of Azizi Developments, who pushed the draw button, said: “We are honored to have once again activated this significant draw. Starting positions are particularly critical for races held on straight courses, where the track bias can shift from race to race, especially if the weather affects the terrain. We are delighted to be recognized as a pillar partner for this extraordinary gathering, which symbolizes the UAE’s leadership goals and positions Dubai as a leading and innovative city, as well as the ideal host for such high-caliber events. Sponsoring and supporting such world-class happenings in the UAE will always be one of our priorities.” 

The Al Quoz Sprint was first run in 2007 as part of what was known as the Dubai International Racing Carnival before becoming part of the Dubai World Cup in 2010, to coincide with the opening of the Meydan Racecourse.

Azizi Developments’ Sales Gallery can be visited on the 13th floor of the Conrad Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.
