I'm off to the Dubai World Cup at Meydan in March and was interested to see if there were any stable tours on at that time. Unfortunately not, but others times Yes. They serve breakfast on the lawns etc and I thought, what a great idea at Carnival time for any budding entrepreneurs out there to organise something akin for Flemington for instance. I know I'd go!

Here's a flyer from Meydan.

RP, it's a longshot, but sometimes if you email the stable and tell them where you're from and how long you're going to be in the area, they'll say come down and we'll arrange something for you, or come down for trackwork and then the manager will arrange for a stablehand to give you a little tour.

The bigger stables sometimes won't bend, but some will, I turned up unannounced at a stud farm, as I wasn't expecting to be in that area prior and explained where I was from and my connection and interest in horses and breeding and they said "wait a minute", came back and said "yeah come on in for a quick tour", that lasted over an hour.

Cheers for that CP. It'll be interesting to compare Meydan with Sha Tin, absolutely spotless there.

Looking forward to this:

Can you get a decent beer there LG, that's the important thing?

Mate, there are so many expat brits (some aussies) floating about - you will be sucking up a bit of the old golden amber in no time. Just don't get caught on a beach later on doing something that's not in their ancient book?

You might end up doing a long stretch in a stinky cell which doesn't come equipped with unibet!
