Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 1 hour ago Journalists Posted 1 hour ago Cygames will sponsor the Listed Surrey Stakes during the 2026 Betfred Derby Festival at Epsom Downs, marking the Japanese-based company's first sponsorship agreement in the United Kingdom. The sponsorship sees Cygames further expand its international racing portfolio, having already sponsored Group 1 races in France and America. The Cygames Surrey Stakes will be run on Friday, June 5, the first day of the Betfred Derby Festival. Matthew Woolston, Assistant Racing and International Director at The Jockey Club, said, “The Jockey Club are delighted to play our part in the long and valuable history of cooperation between Japan and the United Kingdom, for the development of horseracing but also of wider cultural and community ties.” He added, “We're so pleased that Cygames are able to partner with The Jockey Club at the 2026 Betfred Derby Festival at Epsom Downs and we hope this partnership will enable further cooperation between the industries in Japan and the United Kingdom. “The UK has been privileged to welcome a number of Japanese runners to our courses in recent years and we look forward to seeing others in the near future.” The post Cygames to Sponsor Surrey Stakes at the Betfred Derby Festival appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
