188Bet extends commitment to British horseracing

Betting company 188Bet has agreed a 50-race sponsorship package with Jockey Club Racecourses, the group that oversees the running of 15 of the UK’s leading racecourses.

The agreement covers 25 races at Exeter Racecourse, and 25 more spread around the Jockey Club Racecourses group. The deal will run until January 2017.

Fixtures covered by the deal include the Grade 2 Old Roan Chase at Aintree next month, the Grade 2 Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter in November and Saturday’s Prelude Hurdle at Market Rasen. 188Bet will title sponsor each of the events.

In April, 188Bet became an authorised betting partner of the British Horseracing Authority.
