Racing Reimagined

A unique fixture in the global racing calendar as the world’s top jockeys come together to compete for the points to lift racing’s ultimate team prize. For many visitors, the off-track entertainment is every bit as appealing with a post-racing concert on the Old Paddock Lawns.

This year, a full live headline concert from Jessie J will be followed by Tinie Tempah + Charlsey DJ set. Pop-duo Go West will open the after-racing concert.

The world’s premier international jockey’s competition has four competing teams: Great Britain and Ireland, Europe, the Rest of The World and 2018 winners, The Girls’ team.

Live music post-racing is one of the most popular features of the day, with King Edward VII and Winning Post Enclosure ticket holders benefitting from access to the 'Golden Circle' close to the stage. Upgrades and hospitality also available. Under 18s go free when accompanied by an adult.

Gates Open at 11am.

Post-Racing Concert

Household names will perform an exclusive free concert for racegoers after the action on the track. This year, a full live headline concert from Jessie J will be followed by a DJ set by Tinie Tempah. This will take place on the Old Paddock lawns following racing. A third exciting act will be confirmed soon.

Meet the teams

Each team has three riders, stellar international names. Every jockey is guaranteed five rides for their team. The teams are divided into: Europe, Great Britain & Ireland, The Girls & Rest of the World.

How the Scoring Works

Points will be awarded to the first five horses to finish in each of the six Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup races as follows - winner: 15 points; second: 10 points; third: 7 points; fourth: 5 points; fifth: 3 points. If there is a non-runner which cannot be replaced by a reserve, 4 points will be awarded both to the team and jockey missing out on the ride. The team with the most points after the six races have been run will receive the Shergar Cup at the closing ceremony.

Fairground Rides

There will be plenty of off-track entertainment for all of you thrill seekers, with our fairground attractions returning for another year.

Picnic Policy & Last Admission

We amended our picnic policy for the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup in 2018 and beyond. While we encourage racegoers to bring a picnic to enjoy, racegoers will no longer be allowed to bring alcohol into the venue for this raceday. With long operating hours on this raceday due to the post-racing concert, we have taken this decision as part of our Drink Responsibly initiative to help ensure an enjoyable experience for all our guests. Closed, sealed soft drinks are permitted to be brought in with a picnic.

Please also note that all racegoers must have entered the racecourse before the start of the final race. There will be no first entry admission for anyone after the start of the final race.
