  GBI Racing sponsoring winning posts at SA tracks
GBI RACING, which brings top-quality UK and Irish racing to betting shop operators around the globe, is sponsoring the winning posts at all 10 South African racecourses for the next eight weeks. Nick Mills, Commercial Director of Racing UK, said: ``The sponsorship is a great platform to promote British racing to South African racing fans during a key period for British and Irish racing with many of the flagship racing festivals taking place over the next month.’’ GBI Racing has exclusive international rights to all 60 UK racecourses and the 26 Irish tracks, and has more than 1,800 race fixtures annually available for simulcast.

UK and Irish racing is among the most respected and renowned thoroughbred racing in the world. The highest levels of integrity, field sizes, traditions and famous showcase events like Royal Ascot and the Epsom Derby combine to make UK and Irish racing a truly compelling proposition for wagering audiences.

``The winning posts at South African racetracks are prime advertising space and offer great marketing opportunities for the right sponsor, particularly at present with hundreds of millions of eyes focussed on this country as a result of World Cup 2010,’’ said Phumelela Gold Enterprises Sales Executive Clyde Basel. ``We are delight to have negotiated this short-term deal with GBI Racing and wish them well during what is their peak racing season.’’
