The Rashid Equestrian & Horseracing Club in Bahrain have announced the sponsorship of Robert ‘Rab’ Havlin

Havlin has won over 1,000 races in an illustrious career and has been a stable jockey for British flat racing Champion Trainer John Gosden for 20 years. Havlin has ridden the likes of Enable, Cracksman, Stradivarius, Jack Hobbs and Without Parole to victory in his time at Clarehaven Stables in Newmarket and is an integral part of the Gosden team.
The partnership with the Rashid Equestrian & Horse Racing Club will see Havlin promote the Bahrain International Trophy, as well as the Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket in July.
The inaugural Bahrain International Trophy took place on 22nd November 2019 with Havlin finishing 2nd aboard the John Gosden-trained Turgenev with the race won by the French-trained Royal Julius. The 2020 running of the Bahrain International Trophy will take place on Friday 20th November. The race is open to horses rated over 95 and is run over a distance of 2000 meters (10 furlongs).
REHC’s vision is to promote horse-racing in the Kingdom of Bahrain by attracting the best horses and trainers and offering racing enthusiasts an opportunity to participate in one of the best international racing events in the region. One of REHC’s unique features is that it boasts one of the finest grass tracks and grandstands in the entire Middle East. There are two turf tracks measuring about 2,400 metres (12 furlongs) and one sand track for training along with a grandstand with a seating capacity of over 3,000.
Sheikh Salman Bin Rashed Al Khalifa, RHEC’s Executive Director said: “We’re very excited to be working with such a prominent name in horse racing. Rab has won races on some of the best horses in the world including Enable, Cracksman and Stradivarius. He finished 2nd in the first ever running of our International race last year and we look forward to him returning to Bahrain later this year.”
Rab Havlin said: “I’m thrilled to be sponsored by the Rashid Equestrian & Horseracing Club. I had a fantastic experience in Bahrain when I went over to ride in the Bahrain International Trophy last year. The track rode beautifully and the atmosphere on raceday was electric!”
