SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
Racing FX, who provide foreign exchange and payment services to the equine and sports industries, have signed leading jump jockey Bryan Cooper as an ambassador in a three-year deal.
Cooper, 22, who is the retained jockey to the powerful Gigginstown House Stud in Ireland, will wear the Racing FX logo on his breeches and polo neck tops. He will also produce regular blogs on www.racingfx.co.uk on his upcoming rides and thoughts ahead of the big spring festivals.
Andy Rowland, CEO of Racing FX, said: “Bryan is undoubtedly a champion jockey of the future and I’m thrilled that we have managed to secure his services. It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to get the Racing FX brand out there and I’m looking forward to him providing interesting and engaging content for readers on our site.
“Racing FX has been designed to help people in the equine and sports industries who have struggled with banks and other retail brokers over the, quite frankly, slack service and poor exchange rates. We offer an end-to-end solution that allows our clients to secure highly competitive rates and make transfers quickly and securely.”
Bryan Cooper said: “I’m delighted that Racing FX are sponsoring me for the next three years. They have spotted a genuine gap in the market when it comes to payment services in the horseracing and equine industries. I’m sure it will be a successful partnership for both parties.”
Cooper, the son of trainer Tom, shot to prominence at the Cheltenham Festival in 2013 when he rode three winners, including the hugely impressive Triumph Hurdle success aboard Our Conor. He has a number of exciting rides to look forward to at this year’s Festival, including Road To Riches, Don Cossack and Valseur Lido.
