We're blogging live from Nad al Sheba
Log-on today to ensure you are part of the world’s richest race-meeting

On a few hours time the world's richest day of racing gets underway. Television cameras will beam the races to 30 countries around the world as radio and Internet feeds carry the latest news and updates.

Following the introduction of the world's first racing carnival Weblog in January of this year, the Dubai Racing Club will conclude the much acclaimed project with another racing first on Dubai World Cup night - 8 hours of 'live blogging' from Nad Al Sheba Racecourse by a team of international writers.

For a rare insight into what it is actually like to be there amongst the action, latest race news, photographs, and comments from trainers/jockeys/owners logon to the DRC Carnival blog from 3.00pm (Dubai Time) which is 11.00am GMT.

If you are unable to make it to the Dubai World Cup the next best thing will be to log on to the Weblog and keep up to date with the news from the racecourse.

Site reports indicate that in just 11 weeks the Dubai International Racing Carnival blog has already produced more than 350 posts and attracted hundreds of thousands of hits from more than 35 countries, with an astonishing 91% of readers becoming repeat visitors.

In addition to the Weblog the Dubai World Cup website www.dubaiworldcup.com will be showing replays of all the races both in video and audio.
