ARABIAN RACING ORGANISATION 2020 REVISED RACEPLAN PUBLISHED After hopes for what had looked to be one of the most promising years for ARO in terms of support (further integration with throughbred racing through the BHA) and new races (Shadwell Arabian Stakes at Ascot) had been dashed by Covid19, ARO faced a long wait for their new season to be accomodated into the new BHA raceplan for the remainder of 2020.
Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club who opened the season with ARO's most valuable race at Goodwood and subsequent races funded by long-term supporters, the HH Sheikh Mansoor Festival, the UAE President's Cup and new sponsors in the Emirates Breeders Programme, the season will go ahead, with the emphasis very much on providing opportunities for the high number of maidens in training in the UK.
The loss of their flagship meeting, Dubai
! International Arabian Races (DIAR) was
clearly a huge disappointment, both for ARO and their domestic participants and for the structure of the European pattern - as the unique meeting included four pattern races.
ARO could not rule out further amendments to thepublished list below as the threat from Covid19 is ever changing, however moving from a position of no racing to a ! raceplan at least ensures that the reduced younger horses will have gained racecourse ! experience prior to 2021.
However thanks to the welcome support of
