When the Curragh Racecourse announced that the Irish Derby was going to be sponsored by the Dubai Duty Free the Race Programmer knew he had to be involved. To date there have only been three sponsors of the Irish Derby- and the Race Programmer is determined to be the next. The association relationship between Dubai and Ireland is a curious one, but becomes perfectly clear when Colm McLoughlin, Managing Director of Dubai Duty Free, explains that The Irish Derby is a major race meeting attracting widespread media coverage across Europe and beyond and is therefore in line with their global strategy of promoting Dubai and Dubai Duty Free. Ireland is becoming an increasingly important market for Dubai and the United Arab Emirates in terms of travel and business and they believe that the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby will be a flagship event that will heighten interest further. Mr McLoughlin is also Irish, making him the perfect ambassador for Ireland, the Irish Derby and Dubai Duty Free. The Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby Festival is the most prestigious horse racing event in Ireland and one of the high points of the season’s social season. It combines exciting horse racing with the best in fashion, food and fun. Over 40,000 people attend the three day event which also includes the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby, Dubai Duty Free Double Millionaire, Dubai Duty Free Railway Stakes, Paddy Power Sprint and also the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (Group 1), Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Premier Handicap, Dubai Duty Free Full of Surprises Celebration Stakes and the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championship Premier Handicap. Thanks to the Race Programmer, ambassador for the virtual horseracing community, RaceClubs.com is proud to introduce Dubai Derby WFA with £126 added sponsorships.
