Jordan Coates, Head of Sales at Newbury Racecourse commented, “We are delighted to be continuing our longstanding relationship with Weatherbys as sponsors of the Super Sprint for a further five years.

“The Weatherbys Super Sprint is one of our summer highlights here at Newbury and always promises a great day for racegoers with fast and thrilling racing action and a post racing concert. We extend our thanks to Weatherbys for their continued support of Newbury Racecourse.”

Nick Craven, Executive Director of Weatherbys added, “Weatherbys sponsor over 100 races each year at every racecourse in Britain but our longest continual sponsorship has been of the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury, and we're delighted to see this continue for at least another five years.

“It's a race that was designed to support the smaller owner and less-expensive horse and it has done just that with so many fantastic stories over the more than 30 years of our sponsorship. We're looking forward to being involved in some more great stories over the coming five years.”
