The Chairman's Message

The Kingdom of Bahrain's vision for horse racing is rooted in excellence, global connections, and long-term growth. Through strategic investment, international collaboration, and a commitment to the highest standards, we are shaping a racing product that reflects both our ambition and our values.

The 2025/26 season presents a strong invitation to owners and trainers seeking meaningful, competitive opportunities. Our program has been carefully developed to support international participation, with the Bahrain Turf Series offering consistent racing at a high level. Its impact is most clearly demonstrated during the King's Cup Festival, now the most competitive weekend of racing in Bahrain and increasingly recognised as a key fixture within the regional calendar.

The strength of last season's competition was reflected in the results. Our six internationally recognised races were won by five different horses, underscoring a depth of quality and the strength of the challenge on offer. This level of balance and competitiveness is central to the continued development of our racing program.

We look forward to welcoming new and returning participants to Bahrain. Our focus remains on delivering a world-class experience both on and off the track and on continuing to build a racing jurisdiction defined by excellence, integrity, and opportunity

His Highness Shaikh Isa Bin Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Chairman of the Rashid Equestrian & Horseracing Club
