The July 28 G3 Princess Margaret S., a six-furlong event for juvenile fillies, will now be sponsored by Keeneland as part of a new association with Ascot Racecourse, Ascot announced on Monday. The aim of the sponsorship is for Keeneland to further promote the global success of U.S.-bred and -trained horses through its support of the Princess Margaret S., with Ascot's Chief Executive Guy Henderson slated to attend Keeneland's upcoming Spring Meet in April.
“”We are excited to sponsor the Princess Margaret Keeneland S., and to work with Ascot to encourage the international participation of horses bred and trained in the United States,” Keeneland President and CEO Bill Thomason said. “As a major race track, sales company and training centre constantly looking forward, we feel this new arrangement fits perfectly with our ethos.”
Guy Henderson, Chief Executive of Ascot Racecourse, added, “We are delighted to be beginning this relationship with Keeneland, which celebrates the tremendous record of Keeneland graduates at Royal Ascot and indeed the more recent successes on the respective tracks by an ever increasing number of dual winners.”
