QREC rides on with Total

The Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club has sealed a five-year extension to its long-term partnership with French gas and oil giant Total.

Under the agreement, Total stays on as the title sponsor of the top horse racing event in Qatar – HH the Emir the State of Qatar Sword Race – and retains an association with the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Day at Paris’ storied Longchamps Racecourse until 2017.

QREC’s renewal with Total comes after it last week teamed up with state-owned Qatar Petroleum International to sponsor this year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
