The racing carnival, which officially got underway on November 7, has already welcomed horses from the UK, Denmark and Norway. More racehorses are expected to arrive over the next few weeks, the media office at Dubai Racing Club told Khaleej Times on Friday.
"We are delighted to have acceptors for the Carnival from so many different countries.
