Betdaq recruits trainer Harry Whittington for horse racing push

Exchange operator Betdaq has signed Grade 1-winning National Hunt trainer Harry Whittington as a new brand ambassador.

The partnership will see Whittington provide weekly content on Betdaq’s multi-sport content tips site, allowing customers a unique insight into one of the UK’s most promising National Hunt yards.

Whittington, who began his career with five-time champion trainer and Unibet ambassador Nicky Henderson, first hit headlines in 2016 when Arzal won the Manifesto Novices’ Chase at Aintree.

Eamon Moran, marketing manager at Betdaq, said: “It’s fantastic to be able to welcome Harry Whittington to the team.

“He is a trainer that has made huge strides in a short space of time and we can’t wait to see what the upcoming season holds.

“Saint Calvados and Bigmartre are two horses to really look forward to but, having recently visited the yard, there seems to be a host of other interesting prospects as the new season draws upon us.”

Whittington joins Irish duel-code trainer Gavin Cromwell as a Betdaq brand ambassador ahead of an exciting new jumps season.

Whittington added: “I am very happy to be on board with Betdaq ahead of the new National Hunt season and look forward to giving their customers my views on all of my runners.

“We have plenty of exciting horses this season and the whole team is hoping we can build on last year which was our most successful to date.”
