Dubai Kahayla Classic

The Dubai Kahayla Classic is a Group 1 race for Purebred Arabians held on Dubai World Cup day at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai. It carries a purse of US$250,000 and is held annually on the last Saturday in March.

The Dubai Kahayla Classic started life as the Mashreq Bank Handicap in 1996 before becoming the Dubai Arabian Classic conditions race in 1997. In 2000 the race became the Dubai Kahayla Classic. It became a Group 1 race in 1999 and was run on dirt at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse until 2010, when the first renewal of the race was run at the newly built Meydan Racecourse on the synthetic Tapeta surface.^[1]
