Sheikh Mohammed shares inspiring video ahead of 26th Dubai World Cup tomorrow

In an inspiring new video, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, encourages people to 'achieve the impossible'.

The leader offers viewers advice in the form of an allegory about horse racing ahead of the 26th Dubai World Cup tomorrow.

"If you force the pace in a race, your horse can tire out easily. If you are too slow, you will fall behind and lose the race. You must know your horse's capability and calibrate your pace," he can be heard saying in the video, which features clips that show off his love for horses.

One of the world's most anticipated equestrian events, the Dubai World Cup, offering $30.5 million in prize money, is broadcast worldwide to millions. This year's event further strengthens the city's status as one of the world's leading sporting destinations.
