Dubai Racing Club, also known as DRC, a privately owned entity headquartered in the UAE, was founded in 1992, operates with approximately 160 employees, and reported $11.5M in revenue as of 2023. The company functions as a tier 3 media tech buyer, specializing in riding and animal sports by serving as the organiser of horse racing events at the Meydan Racecourse, with these events including the Dubai World Cup.
On March 13, 2026, Archivist, trained by Hamad Al Jehani, won the Phi Advertising Handicap, the feature race of the Dubai Racing Carnival's finale at Meydan Racecourse, marking a successful Carnival for owners Wathnan Racing. Previously, on March 11, horses from four countries competed at Meydan in the final Dubai Racing Carnival meeting, which featured the AED300,000 Phi Advertising Handicap. Earlier, on March 9, officials confirmed that Dubai World Cup Night would proceed as planned despite geopolitical tensions, retaining its position as a closely watched global racing fixture. This followed Elnajmm's decisive victory in the G3 Ras Al Khor (sponsored by Emaar) on March 6, proving its earlier G2 Al Fahidi Fort win in January was not a fluke. Prior to that, on March 4, past champions Marbaan and Mysterious Night were set to face each other in the G3 Ras Al Khor at Meydan, with Mysterious Night returning after a fifth-place finish in the G2 Al Fahidi Fort.
