SetantaBet.com, the betting arm of Setanta TV is to undertake its first horse racing sponsorship at the Punchestown festival in two weeks time.
“We are very excited to be involved with Ireland’s premier racing festival,” said Setanta Chairman Mickey O’Rourke. “It’s our first foray into race sponsorship and we couldn’t think of better place to start.  Punchestown offers so much to race goers and we look forward to being there on the day. We will also offer a special on our race which will be on www.setantabet.com all that week.”
Dick O’Sullivan, Manager of Punchestown said “The final day at the festival has become the second largest day for attendance. The racing is really competitive and the Setantabet.com Handicap Hurdle looks like it could be a real cracker with two Cheltenham festival winners featuring among the entries.”
Setantabet.com is the online betting arm of the Setanta Sports television group. The site was launched in March 2010. The Setanta Sports Television group was formed in 1993 and broadcasts in over twenty five different countries around the globe.
