(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) Dubai, United Arab Emirates,March 2026: Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, marks nine years of partnership with the Dubai World Cup (DWC) as the event reaches its 30th edition.

The Al Quoz Sprint has drawn champions from Australia, South Africa, Ireland, the USA, the UAE, and Hong Kong since it was added to the DWC card in 2010. In 2025, Believing – jockey William Buick, trainer George Boughey, and owners Mrs. Magnier, M. Tabor, D.
