Bar One Racing has extended its sponsorship at Dundalk Stadium to make it the 20th year of the exciting partnership.
The long-established relationship will see the bookmaker take on title sponsorship of the prestigious Bar One Racing Sprint Cup and full horse card on August 15 for their annual dual race day.
“Bar One Racing has a long and proud relationship with Dundalk Stadium and indeed horse and greyhound racing alike. This is the 16th year that Bar One Racing has sponsored the Dual Race Day at Dundalk Stadium and the 20th year sponsoring the Bar One Racing Irish Sprint Cup Final,” said Barney O’Hare, Managing Director of Bar One Racing.
The Bar One Racing Sprint Cup is held for Ireland's leading sprinters and is an integral part of the Irish greyhound racing calendar.
The exciting competition got underway on July 15, beginning with 66 dogs, and across the few weeks they have battled it out, in a bid to make the final that will be held on the evening of August 15. With over 30,000e in prize money up for grabs, this is one competition you don’t want to miss.
August 15 will be a day to mark on your calendar. A host of activities to enjoy on the day will be available for this family fun day. An afternoon of horse racing, including the Irish EBF Red God Premier Handicap, followed by an evening of exhilarating greyhound racing featuring the Bar One Racing Sprint Cup, awaits you at Ireland's only Dual Racetrack.
