DDF’s love affair with Newbury Racecourse hits new heights
Khaleej Times
|April 16, 2025
Hometown winners, Guineas hopes, and vibrant grandstands — Newbury Racecourse was buzzing last weekend as Dubai Duty Free celebrated 30 years of partnership in spectacular style.
Over two days of thrilling action, the Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials Weekend delivered everything a racegoer could want: rising stars, local success stories, record-breaking crowds, and even a glimpse at potential Classic champions in the making.
Racegoers weren't the only ones enjoying the weekend. Dubai Duty Free’s Managing Director, Ramesh Cidambi, hosted media and racing professionals across both days, delivering a heartfelt tribute to the company’s late CEO Colm McLoughlin, whose family has enjoyed many cherished moments at Newbury over the years.
Saturday’s card featured the eagerly anticipated trials for the 1000 and 2000 Guineas — and it didn’t disappoint.
The first Classic trial saw 15 talented fillies line up in the Group 3 Dubai Duty Free Stakes. It was Duty First who stole the spotlight, the locally-trained runner from Archie Watson’s Lambourn yard sweeping home under Hollie Doyle.
