Squared Financial Services Limited announced their sponsorship of the Grade 1 Christmas Hurdle 9/12/2014Squared Financial Services is to be the new sponsor of the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown’s popular Christmas horse race meeting on December 28th.

The South Dublin track won the award for Racecourse of the Year at the Horse Racing Ireland Awards on Monday and this deal comes off the back of an extension to the long running Lexus sponsorship at the same meeting.

Bibby Financial Services became main sponsors at the Punchestown festival last year and Boylesports signed up to as three year deal as partners of the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse.  Together these deals bode well for a sport that took a number of hits during the recession but is now emerging again as a key area for corporate investment.

Squared Financial Services is a financial trading platform based in Dublin’s IFSC.

“Squared Financial is delighted to sponsor this year’s Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown on December 28th,” said Youssef Barakat, CEO of Squared Financial.

“This is a top quality race on one of the biggest racedays of the year at this world-class venue. We see this as a great avenue to promote the quality of our FOREX, CFD and multi-asset trading platforms and services for professional investors.”
