Newmarket delighted with Novae link
Insurance specialists Novae Group plc, who launched into the bloodstock insurance market two years ago, have underlined their commitment to the sector by signing a deal with Newmarket Racecourses to sponsor the Owners’ & Trainers’ facilities on both the Rowley Mile and July Course as well as two important Listed Races.
The company, which underwrites a broad spread of international bloodstock, livestock and equestrian risks, will have branding and displays in the Owners’ & Trainers’ lounge and bar and signage in the area where horses are saddled before a race.
Novae will also sponsor the £40,000 Fairway Stakes at the Rowley Mile on Saturday 29th May and the £40,000 Hopeful Stakes at the July Course on Saturday 28th August. Both races will be broadcast live on Channel 4.
“We are delighted to sign up a company of the stature of Novae Group to our portfolio of sponsors at the Home of Racing,” said Stephen Wallis, Newmarket Racecourses’s Managing Director.
“Our race meetings are regularly attended by the UK’s top owners, trainers and breeders, not to mention a great many from all over the world, drawn here by our racing and by Tattersalls bloodstock sales.
"It is the perfect place for Novae to promote their bloodstock insurance arm and interact with potential new clients.”
