Bookmaker William Hill has been named the official betting partner of the QIPCO Guineas Festival at Newmarket from May 3-5, the racecourse announced on Thursday.
Already an official betting partner of the Randox Grand National Festival at Aintree earlier this month, the bookmaker will have its name attached to 15 races across the three-day stand. Among the sponsored races are the G2 Jockey Club S. on Friday, the G3 Palace House S. on Saturday and the G2 Dahlia S. on Sunday. Two £100,000 Heritage Handicaps on Saturday's card will also be sponsored by William Hill.
William Hill's head of media, sponsorship and social, Daryl West, said, “For many racing fans, the QIPCO Guineas Festival at Newmarket is the meeting where the Flat turf season really hits its stride and we are therefore thrilled to be the official betting partner.
“This year we have the added excitement of the reappearance of City Of Troy (Justify) in the QIPCO 2000 Guineas, who is the most exciting horse to be seen in many a year and our current 4-6 market leader. We look forward to a wonderful three days.”
