Football Conference sponsors Blue Square Bet will be paying a huge bonus to a lucky club if their specially allocated horse is successful in the Bluesq.com Stewards’ Cup on Saturday at Glorious Goodwood.
All 68 clubs in the Blue Square Bet Premier, North and South were given ‘ownership’ of a horse from this weekend’s prestigious race after a draw on Monday at the betting company’s headquarters in London.
To commemorate their new three year deal to sponsor the league Blue Square have created a prize fund for clubs centered around this showpiece race. The club with the winning horse will receive a cheque for £2000 plus an additional amount determined by a £100 bet on that horse. So for example a 20/1 winner would yield another £2000 for the lucky team. The race will take place at 3.40pm on Saturday 31st July – Live on Channel 4 and Racing UK.
Blue Square spokesman Alan Alger said: “This is our way of giving something back to the clubs who supported us through the first three years of sponsoring this great league. “It brings together our two biggest sponsorships and the winning club will benefit by what is a significant amount of money at this level.”
A full profile of each horse is available under the Stewards’ Cup preview on the Blue Square betting blog at betting.bluesq.com. Fans that want to back their horse (or any other in the race) can go to www.bluesq.com/yourclub to open an account by clicking the badge of the team they support. The account will then be registered to earn money for that club with every bet placed.
