Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia postpones 2nd edition of Prince Khalid bin Abdullah Cup

RIYADH: The Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia announced Friday it was postponing the second edition of Prince Khalid bin Abdullah bin Abdulrahman Cup, which was scheduled to kick off on Saturday, due to heavy rainfall in Riyadh.

“The race will take place next Friday 13 January 2023, in ceremony No. 83 in the sixth round of the Kings Cups nights,” a statement by The Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia said.
