Reviews
"The Dubai Racing World Cup and follow on trip to the Maldives AMAZING. Can't thank Ed and the whole team at Racing Breaks enough, everything was so well organised from transfers, the unique experiences, the Race Day itself, as others have commented for Bhuphat to include Dubai Millennium's name tag, and then win the big race was a definite goosebumps moment.
Will definitely be using Racing Breaks again."
