IRISH Thoroughbred Marketing (ITM) is delighted to announce its sponsorship of the 2007 Cherry Hinton Stakes at Newmarket’s prestigious Ritz Club July Festival. This Group 2 fillies’ event has been won in the recent past by such stars as Attraction and this year’s Stan James 1000 Guineas favourite, Sander Camillo.

Irish Thoroughbred Marketing is committed to supporting British racing and in addition to Newmarket, ITM has expanded its sponsorship portfolio to include races at Stratford, Perth, York and Salisbury.

Commenting on the latest sponsorship, ITM’s Chief Executive, Michael O’Hagan, said: "We had been looking for an opportunity at Newmarket, the home of British Racing, for some time and we are delighted to support a race as distinguished as the Cherry Hinton."

Lisa Hancock, Newmarket’s Managing Director, added: "We are twinned with The Curragh and are thrilled to be strengthening our ties with Ireland still further through this sponsorship. The Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Cherry Hinton Stakes will be one of the highlights of our summer programme on the redeveloped July Course.
