Newsells Park Stud will sponsor the Group 3 Sweet Solera Stakes for the next three years. This year's renewal of the £60,000 contest takes place on the July Course at Newmarket on Saturday 9th August.
The Sweet Solera Stakes was first run in 1973 and commemorates Sweet Solera, winner of the 1000 Guineas and Oaks in 1961.
Graham Smith-Bernal, owner of Newsells Park Stud, commented, “We are truly excited to be sponsoring the Sweet Solera Stakes and to support such an important race at our local track. The Sweet Solera so often throws up future classic winners and was won last year by Lake Victoria who went on to win the Irish Guineas.
“The race fits hand in glove with our aspiration to continue breeding Classic-winning fillies of the future”.
Sophie Able, Newmarket Racecourses and International Director, The Jockey Club, added, “It is fantastic news that Newsells Park Stud will be partnering with Newmarket to support the Sweet Solera Stakes.
“One of the highlights of our Summer Saturdays on the July Course, the Sweet Solera Stakes is frequently targeted by high-class juvenile fillies and I think it should prove the perfect fit for such a prestigious bloodstock operation as Newsells Park Stud.”
