Virgin Bet will continue its role of title sponsor for a series of races across several top UK courses after extending its partnership agreement with the Jockey Club.
The first of six racedays will commence with the Virgin Bet Sun Chariot Day at Newmarket Racecourse on Saturday 5 October, followed by Halloween Sunday at Aintree on Saturday 27 October.
