SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
Coral and Ayr Racecourse have agreed a new five-year for the bookmaker to continue its backing of the Scottish Grand National. Coral has sponsored the race since 2007 and will continue to do so until at least 2019.
Simon Clare, Coral PR and Broadcast Director, said: “The Coral Scottish Grand National is now one of the most watched and most bet on horse races in Great Britain and the race continues to go from strength to strength.”
He added: “We have forged a strong and dynamic partnership with Ayr Racecourse, who are a brilliant racecourse to work with, and are committed to taking this fantastic event to new heights in the years to come.”
Ayr Racecourse Managing Director David Brown added: “The Coral sponsorship of the Scottish Grand National has become one of the most successful partnerships between a racecourse and a bookmaker in horse racing.
“The news that it is being extended by five more years is a huge boost to not only everyone involved at Ayr Racecourse but to racing as a whole.
“The Coral Scottish Grand National is one of the iconic races of the jumps calendar with a rich history so it is fitting we have such a prestigious company as Coral as our sponsors.”
The 2015 Coral Scottish Grand National Festival will be run on Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18.
