Gambling is illegal so betting not allowed but saw more than a few people on their phones to their home countries that were doing more than texting.
On admission you are given a lottery style punch card to fill out with a P6, P5, Superfectas ,Double Trios for specific races with monetary prizes.

At least when you leave your wallet isn't empty from predicting wrong which is a good thing because everything there is very expensive. Not a bargain vacation destination.

Dubai very modern cosmopolitan city with new skyscrapers everywhere. World's tallest building not enough, building a new 200+ skyscraper

Admit being a Yid I was a little nervous going there but customs was a breeze and when went to supermarket this book is at the cashiers. Seems 2019 is the Year of Tolerance and notice the first picture with the talis

At least that is the official position.

Kind of neat when the ruler of the country comes down to the rail to watch his horse race just like any other Joe.
Sheikh is the one in the gold robe welcoming Thunder Snow back to the winners circle.
