Meydan Course Guide
Our Meydan Racing Tips come from the Meydan racecourse in Dubai (UAE). The racecourse has been in place since 2010, when it replaced the Nad Al Sheba racecourse.
Famous for its grandstand, which stretches over a mile and can fill with over 60,000 spectators, the complex includes, as well as the racecourse, a museum, a golf course and a hotel.
The racecourse consists of a turf track and an inner dirt track, both are left-handed.
The turf track is a 12f oval with a 2.25f finish, while the inner track is the dirt track, which is just under a 9f oval with a 2f finish.
There are races at Meydan from October to March. For more details on the fixtures, you can visit the Official Meydan Races website.
