HH Shaikh Nasser affirmed that the result reflects the advanced level of the equestrian and endurance sports in the Kingdom of Bahrain thanks to the constant support and backing of HM the King, without whom the significant accomplishments made in this field wouldn't have been possible.

HH Shaikh Faisal bin Rashid Al Khalifa, President of BREEF, praised the result of Al Taweel during the Dubai Horse Races, underlining Bahrain's wise Leadership and HH Shaikh Nasser's continuous follow-up to the equestrian and endurance sports, which have played a significant role in securing top honours.
