The race card is the official programme for each fixture. Race sponsors automatically secure an advert, however, advertisers can purchase space on an ad hoc basis, either meeting by meeting or season long.
The racecourse has a variety of different signage locations from in front of the jumps themselves, to the finishing straight to the parade ring. You can paint the racetrack in your branding for your race day if that’s what you want!
With over 100 TVs within the racecourse and a giant in-field screens promoting your message to our customers could not be easier than running adverts through this channel.

The Parade Ring and Winner’s Circle are the theatres for many of our race day focuses. Before the races our sponsors are asked to select the best turned out horse and present a prize to the groom, we then conduct an interview through the course PA with a company representative, following the race the sponsor will be involved in the presentation to the winning connections and then join them for a celebratory drink with the Racecourse committee.
There is no end of opportunities to promote your business to our captive audience. Promotional staff welcoming patrons on arrival, tastings, and giveaways, on-course public competitions to collect data, the static promotional material on bars and restaurant tables.
