It is with immense pride and anticipation that I introduce you to the 2025 King’s Cup Festival at the Rashid Equestrian & Horseracing Club. This prestigious event represents the pinnacle of our racing season and a celebration of Bahrain’s equestrian heritage, tradition, and sporting excellence.
This year, we celebrate a truly remarkable milestone as the King’s Cup attains official Group status for the very first time, a testament to our journey and growing international recognition as a distinguished fixture in the calendar.
International competition and collaboration remain at the heart of our vision. This year’s festival welcomes a strong contingent of runners from the UK and Ireland, alongside leading regional contenders, creating an exciting and highly competitive environment.
The strength of Gulf-wide cooperation continues to enhance the quality of racing, showcasing the exceptional talent in the region and reinforcing Bahrain’s position on the global racing stage.
The King’s Cup Festival would not be possible without the generous support of our esteemed partners. I extend my sincere gratitude to Bapco Energies, Binaa, Coolmore, The Avenues Bahrain, Grand Seiko and The Bahrain Jewellery Centre, Lexus and EK Kanoo, and Gulf Air. Their commitment plays a vital role in the success and continued growth of this prestigious event.
To all competitors, partners, and racing enthusiasts, I hope you enjoy this hugely anticipated event. Thank you for your continued and unwavering support and commitment to the sport.

BIN HAMAD AL KHALIFA Chairman of the Rashid Equestrian & Horseracing Club
The King’s Cup promoted to Group 3 Status 2024

King’s Cup, Crown Prince’s Cup & AI Methaq Mile awarded International Listed Status 2022

A race granted ‘Listed’ or ‘Group’ status is recognised around the world and it is a sign of quality. This season The King’s Cup was promoted to Group 3.
International race status is awarded to races that consistently achieve high levels of competition and is measured by the performance ratings of the first four horses. For a Group 3 race, the average rating must exceed 105 over a sustained period, ensuring the race maintains its standing within the international racing community.

These standards are set by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities and, in the case of Bahrain, are monitored by the Asian Pattern Committee (APC).
The APC is responsible for coordinating and overseeing the development of top-quality races across Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East. Bahrain’s participation in this system reflects its commitment to upholding the highest standards of race quality and governance.
Achieving Group status is a significant accomplishment, placing the race within a clear framework of international recognition. The King’s Cup was awarded Group 3 status for the 2024/25 season and exemplifies the growth and ambition of Bahrain’s racing industry.
The Bahrain Turf Club is working to progress further races to Group status in the coming years, thereby demonstrating its dedication to advancing the country’s international racing profile.
At the start of the season it was announced that three of Bahrain’s premier races had been upgraded by the Asian Pattern Committee.
The promotions were headed by The King’s Cup, which has been elevated to international Group 3 status, while both HH Shaikh Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa Cup and HH Shaikh Khalid Bin Hamad Al Khalifa Cup have been granted Listed status for the first time.
The upgrades bring the total of international pattern races held in Bahrain to six, alongside The Crown Prince’s Cup (Listed) and Al Methaq Mile (Listed) and following the promotion in 2023 of the Bahrain International Trophy to Group 2.
Prior to the launch of the Bahrain International Trophy in 2019, there were no internationally recognised races in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Yusuf Buheji, CEO of the Bahrain Turf Club said:
“Under the leadership of the club’s Chairman, His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, our ambition is to continue the development of horseracing in Bahrain and be a jurisdiction that stands alongside the world’s best. The upgrades underline how our investment in developing an attractive international programme, coupled with increased prize money for locally trained horses, has delivered on our objective of raising both the quality and competitiveness of racing in Bahrain.”
Runners from six different racing jurisdictions were represented in the Group 2 Bahrain International Trophy held in November 2024

Cracksking (number 11) and Qaader (far side) finished second and third respectively
Last month a seven strong team of horses from Bahrain travelled to the Saudi Cup at King Abdulaziz Racecourse in Riyadh and achieved their best results yet at the sixth running of the event.
The Saudi Cup meeting attracts runners from all over the world across its nine races and Bahrain was among the best represented nations.
The best performance on the night was by Calif, owned by Victorious Racing and trained by Fawzi Nass, who finished runner-up in the $2m Howden Neom Turf Cup. Under a good ride from Alberto Sanna, Calif posted a career best effort and found only the top-class Japanese horse, Shin Emperor, too good.
Another excellent run was recorded by Goemon, owned by Mohamed Khalid Abdulrahim and trained by Haider Ebrahim, who finished third in the $2m 1351 Turf Sprint.
Once again it was only the Japanese horses who were too good, while Byline, owned by Al Adiyat Racing
and trained by Allan Smith, again flew the Bahraini flag with distinction, this time finishing a gallant fifth in the same race.
Earlier in the day, Cracksking and Qaader both ran very well placing second and third in the $500,000 Saudi International Handicap.
