Italy will host the fourth stage of the UAE President's Cup World Series for Purebred Arabian Horses on June 28, as its races resume in Europe.

The season began in France and then moved to the US, while its Arab stage was held in Tunisia under its third round.

The San Siro racetrack in Milan will play host to round four of the cup’s prestigious 30th edition, which will take place under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Presidential Court.

A distinguished group of Arabian horse breeders from Italy and Europe will participate in the 2 kilometre race, classified as the second category for horses aged four and above.

Faisal Al Rahmani, General Coordinator of the Cup, said the Italian stage had become one of the most important and distinguished rounds of the cup’s racing calendar after rising to the forefront of international races through its wide level of participation, warm welcome for owners and breeders, and extensive media coverage.

He also expressed his pride and satisfaction at the ongoing successes witnessed at every stage of the cup, which reflect the prestigious position of this classic event in the world of horse racing.
