UK gambling giant, William Hill, has announced that it has extended its deal with Ayr Gold Cup Festival for a further two years following three years of successful sponsorship online casinos with the racing event.
In terms of the new deal William Hill will be the official sponsor of the Ayr Gold Cup Festival in Scotland until at least September 2013. The previous deal between William Hill and Ayr Gold Cup Festival expired on 17th September, 2011.
Kate Miller, the Head of Racing for William Hill commented on the deal and said that the William Hill Ayr Gold Cup sponsorship had, after three years of sponsorship, become a favorite among many of online casinos. Miller added that after the fantastic weekend’s action at Ayr it became obvious that it was necessary for them to extend their contract.
Alan MacDonald, Chairman for the Ayr Racecourse in Scotland, said that they were delighted with the news that William Hill has extended its sponsorship of Ayr Gold Cup for a further two years as he had noticed that everyone at the course had enjoyed working with William Hill during the past three Gold Cup Festivals and that they now look forward to another two years of sponsorship. MacDonald added that William Hill and the Ayr Gold Cup Festival are a perfect fit and the name is synonymous with all the flat races in the Scottish racing calendar.
More than 300 betting shops are operated by London-based William Hill online casinos in Scotland and a total of 2,364 betting shops operate across the UK and Ireland.
