1xBet.ie opens its October horse racing schedule at Gowran Park on October 2 with the 1xBet.ie Supports Safer Gambling handicap hurdle. The 12-month deal sponsors 15 races plus venue facilities and builds on ties with Punchestown and The Curragh. Further events follow at The Curragh.
SCCG Take — The sponsorship pairs commercial race support with explicit safer gambling messaging while extending 1xBet’s established Irish racing network.
1xBet.ie has begun its October calendar of horse racing events with a National Hunt meeting at Gowran Park on October 2. A seven-race card features the 1xBet.ie Ireland-sponsored 1xBet.ie Supports Safer Gambling as the main event of the day. The activity forms the opening move in a structured 12-month partnership with the County Kilkenny venue.
The 12-month partnership commits 1xBet.ie to sponsor 15 races across Flat and National Hunt programs at Gowran Park. The agreement also covers the Owners’ Lounge and Stable Yard Canteen, providing direct support to owners, trainers and stable staff. It follows existing 1xBet Ireland sponsorships at Punchestown and The Curragh and sits within the brand’s broader commitment to Irish racing and safer gambling initiatives.
The headline handicap hurdle covers 2 miles and 80 yards for horses aged three and older. The prize fund totals €12,000 with the following distribution: €7,200 to the winner, €2,400 for second, €1,200 for third, €600 for fourth, €360 for fifth and €240 for sixth. Gowran Park opened on June 16, 1914, gained Grade 1 National Hunt status in 2006 and completed a €3.5 million grandstand redevelopment in 2003. It stages the €100,000 Goffs Thyestes Chase each January.
Additional sponsored races will take place at The Curragh before October ends. As reported by Yogonet International, the Gowran Park fixture begins a series that underscores 1xBet.ie’s continued investment in the Irish racing sector.
