The Royal Arabian project - a Kuwait Finance House-Bahrain (KFH-B) venture  - will see the existing racing operations transformed into a vibrant, modern concern, with all the equestrian and public facilities required of a contemporary, international, horse racing venue.

Racing at the Rashid Equestrian & Horse Racing Club takes place from circa late October through to late April each year, on turf. Each raceday generally comprises one Arabian race as a ‘curtain-raiser’ followed by five or six thoroughbred races. The thoroughbred programme is evenly balanced between local-bred and imported horses and features several Bahraini Group races throughout the season.  Top Bahraini owner/trainer Fawzi Nass regularly competes with merit at the Dubai International Carnival.
