Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 31, 2019 Journalists Share Posted July 31, 2019 Al Shaqab will continue to sponsor the £350,000 G1 Al Shaqab Lockinge S. until 2024, after a new five-year deal was agreed upon, Newbury Racecourse announced on Wednesday. Besides the G1 Al Shaqab Lockinge S., Al Shaqab will also sponsor the G3 Al Rayyan S. and the Listed Haras de Bouquetot Fillies’ Trial. “The agreement to renew Al Shaqab’s sponsorship of the G1 Lockinge for a further five years demonstrates our commitment to British Horseracing and its well-deserved standing worldwide,” said Al Shaqab General Manager Khalifa Al Attiya. “With 50 horses in training in Britain alone and an extensive breeding and racing operation in France, this is an important partnership for us and one which has helped foster our relations and cooperation with horse organisations in the UK and the rest of the world.” “We have enjoyed a great partnership with Al Shaqab since they came on board to sponsor the prestigious Group 1 back in 2015 and I am delighted they have extended the relationship for a further five years,” said Newbury Racecourse Chief Executive Julian Thick. “The Al Shaqab Lockinge S. is a hugely important race in the European calendar, and we are delighted that, with the backing of Al Shaqab, we are now in a fortunate position to look at attracting new partners to support and grow this event further.” The post Al Shaqab Extends Lockinge Sponsporship appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
