Newbury Racecourse is delighted to announce that Ireland’s largest independent bookmaker, BoyleSports, is to be the title sponsor of the Lockinge Stakes until 2027. BoyleSports will become a Principal Partner of Newbury Racecourse with the sole Group 1 fixture of the Flat season at Newbury renamed as The BoyleSports Lockinge with Ladies Day.

The three-year agreement will see BoyleSports sponsor two races on the card on Saturday, May 17, which features eight World Pool races in collaboration with The Hong Kong Jockey Club. The Group 1 BoyleSports Lockinge Stakes run over the straight mile at Newbury Racecourse, open to horses aged four years and above, is worth a total prize fund of £400,000. Last year’s renewal produced a shock result with the John and Thady Gosden trained 22/1 shot, Audience, recording a dominant victory. Early entries for the 2025 renewal will be announced on Tuesday, April 1. BoyleSports will also sponsor the seventh race on the card, the BoyleSports Handicap Stakes, a Class 2 Handicap run over 1 mile for a total prize fund of £75,000.

BoyleSports already possesses an extensive sponsorship portfolio in Ireland through their partnership with Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) Racecourses, including being the existing Principal Partner of one of the most prominent races in the Irish National Hunt calendar, The BoyleSports Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on April 21. The new sponsorship of the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury Racecourse marks an extension of their support of British racing and an inaugural sponsorship of a Group 1 Flat contest.

Shaun Hinds, Chief Executive Officer at Newbury Racecourse commented: “We are delighted to announce the new partnership with BoyleSports and extend our thanks for their support of the Lockinge Stakes. This Group 1 race is the feature of our Flat season and a clear highlight in our racing year here at Newbury and we are pleased to welcome BoyleSports as the new headline partner for this incredibly important and popular fixture. BoyleSports is a big supporter of Irish racing, and we are very proud to be able to work alongside them to extend their sponsorship portfolio in Britain.”
