King's Cup Festival Looms Large at Bahrain Turf Club
TDT | Manama The Bahrain Turf Club's preparations for the His Majesty The King's Cup festival are set for this Thursday and Friday, March 6-7. Ramadan has silenced the usual roar of local sports, but out at the Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club in Sakhir, horse racing is ready to take the reins. Big Races, Bigger Prizes The King's Cup festival is the jewel in the crown of the 2024-25 Bahrain Turf Series—a 12-race stretch with a cool $1 million in prize money and another $80,000 in bonuses up for grabs. Thursday gets things rolling with two races, each carrying a $100,000 purse: a 1200m sprint and a 2000m test, both restricted to horses four years and up. Trainers and owners have until 10 AM today to lock in their runners and jockeys, and the buzz is already electric about who's going to show up. Then Friday ups the ante with the King's Cup and Crown Prince's Cup—both elevated to Listed status this year as part of the series. We've already seen some fireworks in this series. Back in December, the opening round gave us Swift Asset, a local star, and Ireland's Snellen crossing the line first. The points chase—15 for a win, 10 for second, and so on—keeps everyone on their toes, with a $40,000 bonus waiting for the season's top dog. The Isle of Jura last year springs to memory ahead of this event - started in the handicaps, then stormed through to snag both cups. That's the kind of magic this week could deliver. Yusuf Buheji, the Turf Club's CEO, said they're dead-set on 'pulling in new faces and keeping the energy high,' and it is evident in the setup. This season's new floodlights—a game-changer pushed by club chairman His Highness Shaikh Isa Bin Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa—will bathe the track in light, turning these night races into something special. Bahrain's Equestrian Star Keeps Rising Bahrain's horse racing scene is on a tear, and this festival is the latest proof. Just last November, Sir Alex Ferguson's Spirit Dancer defended his title in the $1-million Bahrain International Trophy—broadcast to 38 countries, no less. The Turf Series has been a magnet for international talent too; the Al Riffa Cup earlier this year had horses like Get It and Deep Intrigue in the mix. Add in the new Total Performance Data hookup—live tracking and timing stats—and you've got a setup that's as sharp for fans as it is for the pros. This week's festival follows their 20th meeting of the season last weekend, and the momentum's clear. The floodlights, the global pull—Bahrain's getting serious about being a racing hotspot. For now, it's all eyes on the Turf Club.
