Ladbrokes signature sponsor at Irish race

Ladbrokes is the new sponsor of the Saturday meeting at the launch of the Galway Races Summer Festival 2011.
The bookmaker will be underwriting six of the seven races on the Saturday Card at the meeting later this month, with the penultimate afternoon of the week-long festival being designated as “Ladbrokes Red Day” and features the Euro 70,000 Ladbrokes “Biggest Names Best Prices” Handicap and the Euro 40,000 Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle.
Their welcome input to the country’s most successful gathering on the annual festival circuit ensures that all 52 races scheduled by Galway Race Committee for the Ballybrit course are being sponsored; resulting in an enviable overall prize fund of Euro 1.6 million said a Galway Race spokesperson.
Joe Lewins, Managing Director of Ladbrokes Ireland said: “We’re very much looking forward to this year’s festival and are delighted to be building our association with what has become one of the main highlights of the Summer. We are committed to supporting Irish racing and we have a number of plans underway that we feel will contribute to making the week even more spectacular.”
