Rashid Equestrian and Horseracing Club (REHC) has signed a sponsorship agreement with Grand Seiko-Bahrain Jewellery Centre to have the Japanese watch brand Grand Seiko as the official watch for the 2024-25 horseracing season.
This agreement is part of REHC’s efforts to enhance partnerships with various companies and institutions, and it comes in line with the developmental steps the kingdom is taking as a host of a number of international horseraces and championships.
The signing of the agreement was in the presence of REHC CEO Yusuf Osama Buheji and Bahrain Jewellery Centre managing director Ahmed Shirazi.
The agreement coincides with initiating cooperation and participation of Japanese horses in Bahraini horseraces, starting with the Bahrain International Trophy, which will be held on November 15.
Marking the occasion, Buheji welcomed the partnership with Grand Seiko, which is one of the most prominent brands in the world of watches, as part of the club’s keenness to have new and diverse partnerships that contribute to the development of horseracing in Bahrain and enhance its position internationally.
Buheji pointed out REHC’s interest to create an attractive environment in its races to host horses from all over the world, including Japanese horses that will be a part of the Bahrain International Trophy, marking their first participation in Bahraini races.
He added that great media and public anticipation is expected due to the advanced level that Japan enjoys in the field of horseracing.
The REHC CEO stressed the importance of this partnership and its role in enhancing the position of REHC as a preferred destination to attract more international participation as well as leading companies and brands, which would contribute to raising the level of Bahraini races and enhance their distinguished position on the international map.
For his part, Shirazi highlighted the keenness of Bahrain Jewellery Centre management to support Bahraini horseraces that are witnessing remarkable development and global success, thanks to the efforts of REHC’s High Committee, chaired by Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.
Shirazi added that the successes achieved by the club and the distinctive capabilities it provides, were an incentive for Grand Seiko-Bahrain Jewellery Centre to continue its support by sponsoring seasonal races and international championships, which gave the kingdom its distinguished position in the world of horseracing.
