Bad weather didn’t stop the crowds who came out in force today for the Dubai World Cup, the world’s richest race, which is taking place at Meydan Racecourse this evening.

And the weather certainly didn’t have an affect on keen horse enthusiast HH Sheikh Mohammed, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai and his son HH Sheikh Hamdan, Crown Prince of Dubai, who were spotted arriving together at the race track earlier on this afternoon…

They were spotted arriving in a convoy of jeeps

HH Sheikh Hamdan officially announced the opening of the races

It looks like the weather has cleared up

HH Hamdan shared a warm greeting with his followers

HH Sheikh Mohammed who founded Godolphin, the global thoroughbred breeding and horse racing team, has a keen interest in the sport
