It is the World's richest horse race with millions at state,but the ladies
were out in force today in an array of outrageous hats and bright
dresses that would give the fashionistas at Ascot a run for their money.
With
a highly anticipated fashion competition taking place behind the
scenes, the stakes were just as high for the stylish women in the crowd
at the Dubai World Cup as those racing for glory.
Around 50,000 revellers attended the world's richest horse race at
Meydan this year, with many hoping to be considered for the off-track
prizes including best dressed lady and man, best dressed couple, best
hat, most creative hat and Longines most elegant lady.
The
race produced an unexpected winner with Prince Bishop, an
eight-year-old trained by Saeed bin Suroor, which pulled away from race
favorite California Chrome on the home straight to win the race by two
and three-quarter lengths.
Kylie
Minogue is set to close the event tonight which saw a total prize money
of £20million handed out - including £6.7million for the winner.
