Coral to partner prestige racing event

Bookmaker Coral has been selected as the official fixed-odds betting partner of the Qatar Goodwood Festival, the horse-racing meeting in England.

The commercial partnership is a three-year deal and this year will see Coral sponsoring 10 races over the five days of the meeting, including two prestige races.

Coral, with its partner Jockey Cam, will be bringing the Coral Virtual Race Experience Stage to Goodwood, so that racegoers can experience what it is like to ride in races.

They will be watched through VR headsets by racegoers using JockeyCam’s 360-degree camera in a specially staged seven-runner race over the Goodwood mile course.
