Smarkets, a betting exchange firm, has teamed up with The Jockey Club to sponsor 35 fixtures across 11 of the group's 15 tracks. Among those fixtures is the G3 Rose of Lancaster S. at Haydock in August, with this weekend at Wincanton and future fixtures at Aintree, Epsom and Sandown others to be backed among 240 races. It is a first venture into racing sponsorship for Smarkets, having recently sponsored Queen's Park Rangers football club.
Jason Trost, Smarkets CEO, said, “We are delighted to be partnering with the Jockey Club where we will be integrating our industry-leading betting exchange into the live horse racing experience.”
Paul Fisher, chief executive of Jockey Club Racecourses, said, “It's always fantastic to be able to welcome new partners into our sport and that's very much the case with Smarkets.”
