Betway extends Champion Chase sponsorship through 2020
Bookmaker adds another three years to title sponsorship of the famous Cheltenham race
Betway has extended its sponsorship of the Grade One Queen Mother Champion Chase to cover the next three Cheltenham Festivals.
The champion two-mile chase was Betway’s first major sponsorship deal in horse racing back in 2015, and the firm said it was “delighted” to continue the partnership through 2020.
Anthony Werkman, marketing and operations director at Betway, said: “After a fantastic three years of sponsoring the Queen Mother Champion Chase, we are delighted to extend our support and see the great race run under the Betway name for at least the next three Festivals.
“The Cheltenham Festival is where everyone wants to be and we’re excited to remain in the thick of it, not least by sponsoring one of the feature races of the four-day meeting.
“Winning the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase is the pinnacle for any two-mile chaser and with our continued sponsorship we hope to cement our place at National Hunt racing’s top table.”
Betway said the race had delivered “career-defining moments for some great horses,” including the great Sprinter Sacre, who took down the 2016 renewal.
