32Red Casino Sponsors Horse Racing
Date Added: April 1, 2009
32Red Casino is one of the most awarded and one of the most popular online casinos. In a press release from Gibraltar the casino has affirmed its continuing support to the sport of horse racing. The Chief Executive Officer of 32Red, Ed Ware, said that this support was consistent with 32Red being a leading UK casino and was also in keeping with its declaration of increasing its marketing spending in 2009.
This latest announcement states that 32Red Casino will sponsor the Flat Jockey Championship title in 2009. The event will now be known as the 32Red Flat Jockey Championship. It had earlier sponsored the 2008 Group One Cheveley Park Stakes. Ed Ware said, “32Red is proud of the association between our online casino and the cream of British racing.” The winner of the Flat Jockey Champion is the jockey who wins the maximum of both flat and all-weather races between the 22nd of March and the 8th of November 2009. Hot favorites for the 32Red Flat Jockey Championship are Ryan Moore and Jamie Spencer. Moore is the current holder. He rode 186 winners in 2008. Also in the reckoning is Hayley Turner, with 100 wins last year. If Turner wins then she will become the first female champion jockey. Unfortunately three times winner Kieren Fallon will not be returning in time to compete for the title this year. In the past the championship has generated a lot of interest and some of that is bound to pass on to 32Red Casino as the sponsors. In 2007 there was an extremely close fight between Jamie Spencer and Seb Sanders, with the winner being decided right in the end. In fact 32Red Casino intends to offer numerous promotions based on this sponsorship in the coming months. Many of the offers will be e-mailed to the players; hence they are advised to ensure that the online casino has their active e-mail address.
The fraternity of the professional jockeys heartily welcomed 32Red’s offer of sponsorship. Josh Apiafi, Chief Executive of the Professional Jockeys Association, said, “We are delighted to welcome 32Red.com as a PJA commercial partner and look forward to establishing a long and successful working relationship together.” Identical sentiments were voiced by Charlie Mitchell of Essentially Group, which is the Professional Jockey Association’s exclusive commercial agency.
32Red has supported other sporting features in Britain in the past including the Premiership club Aston Villa for two years and the best individual Dart players. 32Red Casino also sponsors 32 London Taxis. 32Red Casino is powered by Microgaming and licensed in Gibraltar. It carries eCOGRA’s “Safe & Fair” seal. Apart from the online casino 32Red offers poker, bingo and spread betting, and also a mobile casino.
