Dubai Racing Club, Fasig-Tipton forge global alliance

Dubai Racing Club and leading North American auction house Fasig-Tipton have formed a strategic partnership to strengthen international participation in racing and bloodstock during the 2026/27 Dubai Racing Carnival.

The agreement will see Fasig-Tipton establish an enhanced presence at Meydan racecourse throughout the carnival while the organisations work together to promote the movement of elite thoroughbreds between major racing jurisdictions.

The partnership is designed to create new commercial and breeding opportunities for owners, trainers and breeders by encouraging greater collaboration between established racing markets in North America, the Middle East and beyond.

Dubai Racing Club chairman Ali Al Ali said the alliance reflected the club’s ambition to strengthen its international connections and reinforce Dubai’s position as a global hub for thoroughbred racing and breeding.

Fasig-Tipton president and chief executive Boyd Browning Jr said the company viewed Dubai as an increasingly important part of the international thoroughbred landscape and believed the partnership would benefit participants across both hemispheres.
