Dubai Duty Free Managing Director Ramesh Cidambi will host guests in the stunning St. Leger Suite at the Curragh on Derby Day. Since becoming title sponsor in 2008, Dubai Duty Free has significantly elevated the prestige of the event, sponsoring six of the nine races on Sunday and helping to cement its place as one of the premier fixtures on the global racing calendar. In addition to domestic coverage on RTÉ, the event will be broadcast internationally, including Racing TV, ensuring extensive global exposure.

Events such as this provide an exceptional platform for global television coverage, showcasing our brand to millions of viewers worldwide.
