BURAAK Triumphs at the UAE President Cup: When Morocco Shines Through the Vision of Mohamed Daissaoui
In an atmosphere brimming with elegance and fervor, the legendary Casablanca-Anfa racecourse played host this Saturday to the inaugural edition of the UAE Moroccan Festival of horse racing. The highlight of this exceptional day was the prestigious UAE President Cup, which crowned BURAAK—brilliantly ridden by Abderrahim Faddoul—as the undisputed champion.
Owned by Mohamed Daissaoui, BURAAK dominated this international 2,100-meter race, open to purebred Arabian stallions and mares aged four and up. With power and poise, he outpaced Vica Grine, ridden by Eyquem Jean Bernard and owned by Esthel Chomard (France). Third place went to Mamouni Fal, ridden by Ibba Khalid and owned by Rabia Taleb.
Boasting an exceptional purse of €250,000, this race stands as one of the most lucrative on Morocco’s equestrian calendar and marks a symbolic milestone in Moroccan-Emirati cooperation.
Organized by the Royal Society for the Encouragement of the Horse (SOREC) in partnership with the UAE President Cup, the event, according to organizers, reflects “the depth of cultural and historical ties between the United Arab Emirates and Morocco—two nations united by a shared passion for the equestrian world.”
A Kingdom Celebrates a Glorious Equestrian Triumph
Under the skilled ride of Faddoul Abderrahim, BURAAK mastered the race with commanding brilliance, embodying the elegance, strength, and discipline of true champions. This victory is the result of a rare alchemy between an extraordinary horse, an elite jockey, and above all, a man of many talents working behind the scenes: Mohamed Daissaoui.
Already widely recognized for his outstanding contributions to the breeding of purebred Arabians in Morocco, Daissaoui reaches a new pinnacle with this triumph. By winning such a prestigious stage, he not only elevates his horse to legendary status but also restores unprecedented international visibility to Morocco’s equine industry—a feat applauded by horse lovers and discerning investors alike.
An Entrepreneur Bridging Two Worlds: From the Racetrack to Real Estate—and Back
Yet, Mohamed Daissaoui’s journey extends far beyond stables and racetracks. A strategic mind and entrepreneur trained at UCLA, and a financial engineer by profession, he represents a new generation of Moroccan leaders—deeply rooted in tradition while resolutely future-oriented. Through his ventures in high-end real estate, particularly in Casablanca and Marrakech, he is shaping a new architectural and entrepreneurial narrative for Morocco.
His real estate projects—merging sleek design, smart technologies, and environmental awareness—are defining the future of Moroccan living spaces. These are homes that speak to aesthetes and technophiles alike, appealing to both locals and expatriates. His ambition? To position Morocco as a major player in the Mediterranean and pan-African luxury real estate sector.
One Philosophy: Excellence, Innovation, Authenticity
Whether guiding a purebred Arabian to victory or leading high-value real estate developments, Mohamed Daissaoui adheres to a single philosophy: pursue excellence, anticipate trends, and honor one’s roots. He embodies a bridge—between tradition and modernity, between Morocco and the world, between passion and strategy.
The victory of BURAAK thus transcends mere sporting achievement. It symbolizes Morocco’s capacity to cultivate talents that shine across diverse domains—from racetracks to financial arenas, from sports to innovation. BURAAK is a champion. Mohamed Daissaoui is a builder. Together, they are writing a bold new chapter in Morocco’s story.
