AmWest to Distribute Dubai Signal

For the second year in a row, AmWest Entertainment will offer worldwide distribution of the racing signal for wagering on the Dubai International Racing Carnival from Meydan Racecourse.

The racing programs begin Jan. 13 and continue through Dubai World Cup day on March 26.

"Dubai racing means the world’s best Thoroughbreds, full fields, formful wagering, and attractive payoffs, and these features have energized a growing legion of horseplayers and fans," said AmWest CEO Nelson Clemmens. "It is a compelling 11 days of opportunity for everyone. The exclamation point is World Cup Day, which challenges the world’s best competitors on the richest program of racing anywhere on the globe, setting the stage for the most exciting day of racing we will witness in 2011."

"We were very pleased with the results of our first year of association with AmWest, which obviously worked very hard to garner the extra participation and record results we experienced from the Americas in 2010," said Frank Gabriel Jr., chief executive officer of the Dubai Racing Club. "Interest and entries are better than ever and point to a season of exceptional racing that we’re sure the fans in North and South America will enjoy."
