His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, yesterday, endorsed the preparedness of Bahrain to host international sporting events, hailing the top standards set by the Crown Prince’s Cup at the Rashid Equestrian and Horse Racing Club (REHC) racetrack yesterday.
“The competitiveness of the Crown Prince’s Cup and its organisation reflects the Kingdom’s capability to host international sporting events,” said HRH HRH Prince Salman also attributed this success to the unwavering support of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to the equestrian sector.
This has “contributed extensively to the development of Bahraini jockeys, who are now galloping to success locally, regionally and internationally”. Further, terming the equestrian as part of authentic Bahraini heritage, HRH Prince Salman said, the sector played a crucial role in the longstanding success of Bahrain in hosting regional and international horseracing competitions.
HRH commended the role of the REHC’s High Committee, chaired by His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, in developing and preserving the equine heritage, stressing the importance of continuing to develop and implement plans to develop this sector to achieve the desired goals.
His Royal Highness then presented trophies to winners at the competition held under the patronage of HRH Prince Salman. Earlier, upon arrival, HRH was received by the Representative of HM the King for Humanitarian Works and Youth Affairs and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the First Deputy President of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, Chairman of the General Sports Authority, and President of Bahrain Olympic Committee, His Highness Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Chairman of the Rashid Equestrian and Horse Racing Club High Committee, His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, and a number of other senior officials.
