Wed 24
We also visited the camel racing track on this day. No racing on but lots of camels being exercised and trained on and around the track, which is a 10k oval. Got some good photos.
Thurs 25
Took a taxi to Jillian’s school to support their school-fair. Bought a burger, hot dog, some books and a hot chocolate.
In the evening, with 4 lady teachers Jillian, Fran, Angela and Liz, went to a Horse Racing meeting on the main Dubai track. Entry to the track and a competition to win a car are free. All you have to do to win the car is pick the seven winners. I got 0 out of 7. The ruling Sheikh of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, was there with lots of dignatories from Dubai and the international racing fraternity. Frankie Detori and other top jockeys, trainers and owners were all there. Beautiful track, grass and dirt, with plenty of seats and grassy areas. The meetings here are very much a family affair with picnics and kids running around everywhere. No alchohol or gambling of course, (except in clubs and hospitality suites). A very enjoyable evening.
All the Best,
John
