Dubai World Cup winning cheque goes to Charity

Dubai World Cup winning owner Sheikh Hamdan, son of Godolphin founder and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed, announced on Twitter that he donated his share of winnings earned by 14-1 victor Prince Bishop to a Dubai based charity.


The $6 million went to the Dubai Autism Centre, Hamdan said. According to its website, the organization is "the largest, most innovative and comprehensive nonprofit organization in the United Arab Emirates serving children with Autism Spectrum Disorders."


"I am optimistic for what the Dubai Autism Centre will achieve socially and medically for children with autism," Hamdan's Twitter post read.
