Wetherby Racecourse is very pleased to announce that bet365 has renewed its sponsorship of the Charlie Hall Chase for a further three years from 2018 onwards.

The Stoke-on-Trent-based bookmaker first supported the G2 three-mile chase, Wetherby’s feature race of the season, in 2003.

Pat Cooney of bet365 commented: “bet365 is delighted to extend its support of the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby for a further three years.

“Since bet365′s first sponsorship back in 2003, there have been some marvellous renewals of the Charlie Hall Chase, with the likes of Silviniaco Conti and Cue Card having been successful.

“The 2017 bet365 Charlie Hall Chase is shaping up nicely and we look forward to another exciting and informative renewal next month.”

Wetherby Racecourse Chief Executive Jonjo Sanderson added: “Wetherby has enjoyed a fantastic relationship with bet365 over the last 15 years.

“We are absolutely thrilled that bet365 has agreed to continue its partnership with Wetherby and, in particular, its sponsorship of the Charlie Hall Chase Meeting, for another three years.

“The generous support of bet365 has enabled the Charlie Hall Chase to maintain its position in the racing calendar as the first major target of the season for the best three-mile chasers and we are all set for another terrific race on Saturday, November 4.”

The two-day bet365 Meeting takes place at the welcoming West Yorkshire racecourse on Friday and Saturday, November 3 and 4.
