"Saudi Arabia is a relatively new racing jurisdiction on the global stage, yet we are pursuing a multi-year and considered strategy to develop the sport, both in terms of our domestic product and our international profile.

While the advent of The Saudi Cup has been key in accelerating our journey, we do not underestimate the importance of The Kingdom’s membership of the Asian Racing Federation in allowing us to interact with some of the world’s most well-established racing jurisdictions.

As The Saudi Cup continues to mature and cement its place on the global racing calendar, so we seek to draw on the ARF’s vast pool of racing expertise as we further open up our racing to international participants."
