Betfair has agreed an initial two year partnership with Jockey Club Racecourses to become the headline partner of Sandown Park’s Grade 1 Tingle Creek Chase and the London National.
The deal will include naming, branding and marketing rights around the two races, both staged on Saturday 5th December.
Betfair has also sponsored Jockey Club Racecourses’, Betfair Chase, since its inception at Haydock Park in 2005.
Phil White, general manager, Sandown Park, said: “We are delighted to welcome Betfair as our new partner for the Betfair Tingle Creek Chase and the Betfair London National. We’re proud to stage one of the best two-mile chases in the Jumping calendar here at Sandown Park and this year’s renewal is once again shaping up to be one of the highlights of the season for Jumps fans.”
Mark Brooker, chief operating officer of Betfair, said: “As a long-standing commercial partner of racing we are proud and excited to announce our sponsorship of the Tingle Creek, a race that is synonymous with excellence.
“The Tingle Creek’s place in the calendar complements our existing marquee races such as the Betfair Chase and Betfair Super Saturday, so it is a welcome addition to our National Hunt sponsorship portfolio.
“Racing is part of our company DNA and we have always sought to work with our racing partners in a structured and mutually beneficial manner, this sponsorship has come as a result of working together in that spirit.”
