CopyBet Joins Forces with Ascot Racecourse to Deliver the Copybet November Racing Weekend

Ascot Racecourse has announced that CopyBet has become the Race Weekend Title Sponsor of this year’s two-day November meeting on 22 and 23 November, which will become the CopyBet November Racing Weekend.

The sponsorship is CopyBet’s first such foray into racing and will see the innovative betting brand sponsor three races on each day. On the Saturday, in addition to the two handicap hurdles, CopyBet will now sponsor the Grade 2 CopyBet 1965 Chase, won by top-class chasers such as Pic D’Orhy, Cyrname, Vautour and Al Ferof in recent years. Friday sees CopyBet sponsor the feature race, the CopyBet Handicap Chase, as well as the two other handicap chases on the card.

Established in 2016, CopyBet is the first bookmaker to enable customers to copy the bets of top tipsters. With complete transparency, tipsters are ranked to their recent performance so that customers can follow the best strategies. Its innovative sportsbook offers competitive odds throughout the racing calendar.

CopyBet is also the proud partner of Irish jockey, Jonathan Burke, who became a brand ambassador in 2023. Burke, who is now Fergal O’Brien’s stable jockey, rode a treble at the Ascot November meeting last year, including the Jim Barry Hurst Park Handicap Chase with Boothill.

Anton Ivanov, Business Development Manager, CopyBet UK, said: “We are thrilled to support Ascot Racecourse by sponsoring the CopyBet November Racing Weekend, our first ever event sponsorship in horse racing. We’re excited to engage with fans and to see the CopyBet brand throughout such an iconic racecourse.

“The CopyBet 1965 Chase has been won by plenty of legendary names, and National Hunt fans have witnessed many dramatic finishes at Ascot over the years, so it’s fantastic to put the CopyBet name to such an important weekend in the racing calendar.”

Felicity Barnard, Commercial Director and Deputy CEO at Ascot Racecourse, said: “We are delighted that CopyBet has chosen Ascot as its first raceday sponsorship in Great Britain. We hope to grow the relationship over the coming years and look forward to promoting the CopyBet November Racing Weekend in the next couple of months.”
