SPONSORSPARTNERS
THE 40th running of the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter Racecourse on Saturday , 19th March is to be sponsored by the Tote for the first time. The four-and-a-quarter mile marathon in which the horses complete three circuits of the Uttoxeter track is one of the longest races of the year, exceeded only by the Grand National itself.
Previously associated with the supporting races, the Tote will now be sponsoring the entire seven-race card on Midlands Grand National Day.
The Uttoxeter showpiece fits in well with other high class staying chases sponsored by the Tote, including the totesport.com Becher Chase at Aintree in November, the totesport.com Classic Chase at Warwick in January and the totesport.com Grand National Trial at Haydock in February.
Totesport is also the official betting partner of the John Smith’s Grand National itself, so this addition to the Tote’s sponsorship programme is a natural fit for the company.
