Together, we shine." Malih Lahej Al Basti, Boardmember and Chairman, Meydan Racing Committee, said, "DUBAL is now at the beginning of its ninth season as a sponsor with Dubai Racing Club and we believe that our continued success lies in forging these long-term partnerships with some of the U.A.E.’s most highly-regarded companies.
