Tote Agrees Midlands Grand National Deal

The Tote has agreed a deal to sponsor the 40th running of the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter Racecourse for the first time.??

Previously associated with the supporting races, the Tote will now be sponsoring the entire seven-race card on Midlands Grand National Day.??

The four-and-a-quarter mile marathon in which the horses complete three circuits of the Uttoxeter track is one of the longest races of the year, exceeded only by the Grand National.??

The Uttoxeter showpiece fits in with other chases sponsored by the Tote, including the totesport.com Becher Chase at Aintree?in November, the totesport.com Classic Chase at Warwick in January.??

The inaugural Midlands Grand National was in 1969 and the race has been run 39 times, with three abandonments due to the weather.
