Horse Week: BoyleSports set to return as sponsor of this year’s Summer Festival of Racing at Down Royal

Notorious for its colourful atmosphere and gripping race schedule, the Summer Festival will attract racegoers from across the region and beyond. As part of the partnership, BoyleSports will have exclusive naming rights to the two most celebrated races at the meeting – The Ulster Derby (Premier Handicap) and The Ulster Oaks.

Both races will occur on day two of the Summer Festival with a considerable prize fund available for the taking.

In addition, the Bookmaker will gain title sponsorship of the full race card at the ‘BoyleSports Summer Race Evening’ on the 31st May.

Emma Meehan, Chief Executive of Down Royal Racecourse, said: “We are thrilled to have BoyleSports return as a sponsor of the Summer Festival of Racing this year.
