About The Saudi Cup
Organised by the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia (JCSA) and run at King Abdulaziz Racecourse in Riyadh on the last weekend in February each year, The Saudi Cup is a two-day celebration of international racing headlined by the Group 1 USD$20m Saudi Cup – the world’s most valuable race. The Saudi Cup race weekend is further enhanced by an undercard of two Group 2 races and three Group 3 races for Thoroughbreds as well as two Group 1 contests for Purebred Arabians.
In addition the Saturday card features the $500,000 Saudi International Handicap for horses trained in IFHA registered Part II and III racing countries.
Established in 2020 with the fifth renewal set to be run on Friday 23 February and Saturday 24 February 2024, The Saudi Cup Day card carries a total prize purse of $31.5m and features dirt and turf races for the highest calibre of racehorses in the world. The weekend carries a prize purse of $37.6m making it racing’s richest festival.
A full card of racing on the preceding Friday includes an International Jockeys Challenge which sees seven female and seven male jockeys compete as individuals.
The Saudi Cup is the JCSA’s marquee event and aims to raise awareness of horseracing in the country, encouraging participation among men and women in all areas of the sport from riding and training to administration and regulation. It also serves to promote Saudi Arabian racing at international level.

Well I never said he should win HORSE OF THE YEAR. My choice was Cody’s Wish. But you don’t win several G1 races purely because of a fluke. We’ll see how he fairs rest of the year.
White abbarrio running on sand not in USA where he will win
El de Venezuela ❤
Junior Alvarado se gana un carreron con SEÑOR BUSCADOR, corrido entre los últimos en toda la carrera, es un gran triunfo sin duda alguna, creao que más mérito del caballo que del jockey, hoy ganaba con cualquier encima, en los 200 finales todos estaban que se caían y él aparece con fuerte atropellada, y gran remada del Junior.
Alvarado is the most improve jockey I must say and his wish had come through I’m so proud of him n the horse this horse close hard in the Pegasus now he’s going longer distances he really dangerous and congrats to the trainer well deserve u choose the right jockey to get the job done 🙏💪🏿🎉
