The Jumeirah Turf Series for 3-year-olds returns for a second season with an upgrade of two Classic races to packed 3-year-old events also on the turf.

Major General Mohammed Al Essa, Director General of Dubai Racing Club, explained the new look of the Carnival program and said: “Under the leadership of Sheikh Rashid Bin Dalmook Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Racing Club, we have been working hard on the Carnival. program for 2023. We have reintroduced some handicaps which will hopefully increase overseas participation and work well with the established group racing calendar.
