32Red.com, operators of the Best Casino award-winners 32Red
Online Casino, has announced that they are to sponsor the Flat Jockey
Championship title in 2009.
This is the most recent in a series of substantial advertising investments in 2009,
following the casino's ongoing first television advert. The new sponsorship deal
is in line with CEO Ed Ware's commitment made in a trading update earlier in the
year that 32Red, "will continue to increase our marketing spend in 2009", and is
consistent with 32Red Plc's long standing support of horse racing in general,
having sponsored the 2008 Group One Cheveley Park Stakes.
Ed Ware continued, "32Red is proud of the association between our online casino and the cream of British racing. Supporting the best in
racing fits our casino's profile as the leading UK casino, following our 6th
successive Best Casino award this February."
The Flat Jockey Champion is determined by the total number of both flat and
all-weather winning rides by jockeys between the 22nd March and 8th November 2009.
Favourites for the 32Red Flat Jockey Championship include the current holder Ryan
Moore, who rode 186 winners last year, and Jamie Spencer. At longer odds is Hayley
Turner, who rode an impressive 100 winners in 2008 and, if successful, would become
the first female champion jockey. However, it is the return of 3 times winner Kieren
Fallon that will grab the headlines, despite not returning in time to compete for
the title this year.
Josh Apiafi, Chief Executive of the Professional Jockeys Association, commented:"We are delighted to welcome 32Red.com as a PJA commercial partner and look forward
to establishing a long and successful working relationship together."
Charlie Mitchell of Essentially Group, the Professional Jockey Association's
exclusive commercial agency, said: "We're thrilled to welcome 32Red on board as
title sponsor and look forward to developing a successful partnership throughout the
forthcoming season."
