6 October 2015


(PRESS RELEASE) -- Titanbet Sports UK has announced a further exciting sponsorship of quality horse racing action at York Racecourse. The online bookmaker is to sponsor races at the October Finale meeting on Saturday, Oct. 10.

The Titanbet Sports UK announcement will see the season finish on a typical high note, with a bumper crowd in excess of 20,000 anticipated in October and Channel 4’s cameras on hand to capture the must-see action.

York’s unmissable Autumn meeting will stage The Titanbet Sports UK Stakes with a compelling £35,000 in prize money up for grabs. The handicap over 1m 1f will be screened live on Channel 4.

The second leg of the deal will involve the sixth race on the day’s race card. The Titanbet Sports UK Stayers’ Stakes - a £15,000 handicap over a stamina-sapping 2m 2f - is to be screened live on Racing UK.

Titanbet Sports UK enjoys working with the leading northern racecourse, whilst it has also put its name to prominent events at Lingfield Park Racecourse and Warwick Racecourse.

UK Sports Manager for Titan Bet, Russell Yershon, has hailed the deals as yet another step in the promotion of an online provider that is fast becoming an established part of the racing landscape.

Yershon said, “There’s nothing more exciting than quality horse racing and we welcome the opportunity of working with York again, where there is always a tremendous atmosphere and great racing.

“We have a growing customer base who are passionate followers of horse racing and we are delighted to be involved with two more races on a day that is the track’s climax to the season and which always provides thrilling racing.

“York never fails to deliver quality, attracting the leading horses, jockeys and trainers, and similarly at Titanbet Sports UK, we aim to deliver the best service for punters who love their racing.”

As part of the deal, eye-catching Titanbet Sports UK branding will be displayed at the finish for both races whilst five further Titanbet Sports UK banners will adorn the course. Podium branding will additionally form the backdrop to the post-race presentations.

Head of Marketing and Sponsorship at York Racecourse, James Brennan, was equally upbeat. He said, “York wants its sponsorship partners to have a positive experience, both for their business objectives and as visitors, so it is great news that Titanbet Sports UK have extended their support to the October Meeting. We look forward to working with them once again.”
