The Jebel Ali racecourse is situated 15 miles from the city of Dubai and was built in 1990. It was the brainchild of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and is a right handed dirt course with a circumference of 2200 metres designed in inspired fashion in the shape of a horseshoe.  The course has a 900 metre run-in and a separate 1400 metre straight course for sprint races. It boasts a seating capacity of 2000 in its impressive grandstand, with further tiers to the grandstand being added in 1995. The Racecourse has a friendly atmosphere and is widely known as 'The Garden Party' Racecourse, racing every other Friday throughout the period November to March. Its principal races are the Jebel Ali Sprint over 5 furlongs in January and the Jebel Ali Mile in March.
