Meydan appears to be racing - 6th Friday 2026

They raced at Al Ain on Thursday.

But that was mostly for purebred Arabians and local bred horses and Al Ain is a bit further away from where the missiles have been landing than Meydan.

The good news is that people who had been stuck are now starting to get out.  There are over a million people throughout the Gulf States who have had travel plans disrupted so even with 40 flights per hour able to leave Dubai it's going to take a while and require no further hostile interruptions.

The feature at Meydan is the G3 Ras Al Khar over 1400m and last year's winner Mysterious Night is back for Appleby-Buick.  He on 7/2 in the UK but Elnajamm for Aussie trainer Michael Costa beat him recently in the Al Fahidi Fort where he was only 5th, so Elnajamm on 6/1 looks value. 

Irish trainer Johnny Murtagh saddles Chicago Critic 7/1 with retained jockey Ben Coen in the irons and the Godolphin filly Dubai Treasure (by Exceed and Excel) is hoping to go better than her two previous thirds for trainer Saeed bin Suroor and jockey Pat Cosgrave – she's on 10/1 and down in trip but up against the boys.
