A Leading Bookmaker Reinforces its Support for the Renowned Epsom Derby
A major player in the horse racing arena, Betfred, has prolonged its collaboration with the Epsom Derby for an additional three years. This action solidifies their dedication to one of the most esteemed flat races globally.
The revitalized agreement grants Betfred title sponsorship of the celebrated two-day event at Epsom Downs, formally recognized as the “Betfred Derby Festival.” This alliance, slated to continue until at least 2026, bolsters Betfred’s profound connection to the sport.
Under the terms of the agreement, Betfred will also extend its backing to supplementary races conducted on each day of the festival, bringing the cumulative number of races over the two days to six. This expansion follows an initial three-year contract revealed earlier this year, adding another year to their pledge.
Fred Done, the individual who established Betfred, conveyed his excitement, remarking, “Following an exceptional time at Epsom in the previous year, we are delighted to amplify our support for the Betfred Derby Festival. We anticipate collaborating with Amy and her colleagues to guarantee that this race persists as a pinnacle of international horse racing.”
Mirroring his sentiments, Amy Starkey, the executive overseeing Epsom Downs Racecourse, commented, “Our association with Betfred spans numerous years and a multitude of high-profile occasions. In the wake of the resounding triumph of the first Betfred Derby in 2023, we are pleased to reinforce our partnership at Epsom Downs.”
Betfreds unwavering dedication to UK horse racing is clear, and we are delighted to collaborate with Fred and his group to enhance this globally recognized flat racing spectacle as we progress towards 2024 and further.
