Falaah (AF Albahar x Zeina) won an exciting photo at the end of 2,000 meters over Muraad (Thakif x Gabra) to give the Sultanate its first victory in the race that kicks off the Dubai World Cup card. It’s the fifth year in a row that connections from a different country have won.

Relive First Classs "wind back the clock," as @PMComerford described, when the 8-year-old won the 2025 Dubai Kahayla Classic three years after his first victory in the $1 million Group 1 at the Dubai World Cup. His team and the @RacingDubai broadcasters narrate the exciting race.

There are a number of #racebredarabians that compete in eventing. This is great news about the collaboration between the Arabian Horse Association and the United States Eventing Association for AHA Sport Horse Nationals.

With her 6 1/2-length victory, RB Badonkadonk joined her brother RB Grand Slam and sister RB Mary Lylah as a winner in the Texas Six Shooter Stakes at @SHRP. All three are out of the great broodmare Rich Kinkga and were bred in Florida by RoseBrook Farm. 📸 Jack Coady Photography

This is the announcement from the track that the Grade 3 Texas Six Shooter Stakes scheduled for Saturday has been cancelled due to lightning around @SHRP and will be rescheduled for Sunday, March 15. Racing officials made the decision for safety of the horses and riders involved.

By Majd Al Arab, Highh Country is out of the dam TM Maddamee, a veteran of 80 starts who raced 10 seasons until she was 12 years old. Highh Country was bred by Debra Lemmons and is owned by Andre and trainer Nicole Ruggeri. 📸 Jack Coady Photography

A first career win for Highh Country and a first career victory on an Arabian racehorse for his jockey, Fermin Portillo Garcia! The 4-year-old bay gelding did it in style with a come-from-behind, 19-length victory in a 7-furlong maiden race on Sunday, March 1, at @SHRP.

Can RB Badonkadonk continue the success of RoseBrook Farm in the Texas Six Shooter? RB horses were one-two in 2024 and 2025. Here’s AJC TV’s coverage of the first two runnings since the race switched to turf at @SHRP.

The first stakes race for Arabian horses in the United States in 2026 takes place on Saturday, March 7, with the Texas Six Shooter Stakes at @SHRP. With a purse of $40,000, it is now a Grade 3 in its third running at 1 1/16 miles on turf for 4-year-olds and up.

[Arabian Jockey Club @TheAJClub]

The second running in 2025 was also a RoseBrook one-two with RB Grand Slam defeating RB Motherload. Third-place finisher Diamond Gem AA went on to win the Grade 1 UAE President Cup, and RB Motherload finished the season winning the Grade 2 Texas Arabian Stallion Classic Stakes.

Congratulations to jockey Luis Huaman on his first-ever victory in a horse race in America that came aboard the #racebredarabian Masqueradesobia at @SHRP. Luis struck quite the pose for Jack Coady Photography after pulling away for a 4 1/2-length win.
