The Geelong Racing Club (GRC) has secured a new sponsorship deal with Ladbrokes, a major boost for the club’s feature races.
“Our key feature days, the Ladbrokes Geelong Cup and Ladbrokes Coastal Classic on Super Saturday will undoubtedly reach new heights under this partnership,” said GRC CEO Luke Rayner.
The partnership, starting this August, will see Ladbrokes integrated across the club, including investment in facilities.
“This was not a decision that was made lightly,” Rayner assured, acknowledging their previous partner. “We feel the partnership with Ladbrokes puts us in a strong position for the future.”
Ladbrokes’ Karl deKroo praised Geelong’s progressive approach. “Partnering with Luke and his team allows us to further cement our position as leaders and support the vibrant racing community in Geelong.”
