The Dubai Turf is a group one flat race held on Dubai World Cup Night which is the single richest day of Thoroughbred racing in the world.

Dubai Turf race is a 1m 1f thoroughbred horse race held at Meydan Racecourse, Dubai, United Arab Emirates on 25th March 2023.

Meydan’s Dubai Turf race is run on the turf for thoroughbreds who are four-year-old and above.

The Dubai Duty-Free Stakes name of the race is taken from its sponsor, Dubai Duty Free and when DP World Signs a sponsorship with Meydan Group, the race name was renamed to Dubai Turf.

The G1 Dubai Turf is the second leg of the four-race Asian Mile Challenge.

The Dubai Turf currently offers a purse of US$5 million, which places it and The Dubai Sheema Classic among the richest races on turf in the world.
