We\u2019re all gearing up\u00a0for the\u00a0Dubai World Cup;\u00a0it’s Dubai\u2019s biggest race meet,\u00a0the most expensive race in the world AND\u00a0it\u00a0also happens to be the biggest\u00a0social event of the year.\u00a0At Meydan Racecourse\u00a0this Saturday,\u00a0you\u2019ll find\u00a0Dubai\u2019s most\u00a0glamorous\u00a0party crowd, combined with\u00a0racing enthusiasts and\u00a0of course, the mega-wealthy…we can’t wait!<\/p>\n
The event features nine high-class races\u00a0including\u00a0the world\u2019s richest horse race\u00a0worth $10m,\u00a0(just shy of AED\u00a037,000,000…eek!)\u00a0and every\u00a0year one big\u00a0star performs –\u00a0it’s already HUGE news that Janet Jackson is set to take to the stage.<\/p>\n
Anyway, because it\u2019s fun to generalise, we\u2019ve gone and listed the\u00a0types of people you can expect to\u00a0see at the races…so\u00a0grab your fascinators and\u00a0join us for\u00a0some Grade A people watching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0The party crowd…<\/h3>\n
They\u2019ve heard the World Cup\u00a0is\u00a0great fun but they couldn\u2019t give a monkey’s\u00a0about the horses; anyway\u00a0they’re probably\u00a0on a rollover after\u00a0a messy weekend. You\u2019ll find these guys propping up the Barasti\u00a0stand (spending a ridiculous amount of money on booze) and jeering at the big\u00a0screens\u00a0every now and again for no apparent reason.<\/p>\n
