Delighted to welcome Tennent’s Lager on board as the title sponsor of this year’s Gold Cup, Drumbo Park Racing Manager John Connor said: “The Tennent’s Gold Cup is one of our top flagship events of the year.
“It attracts a very high calibre with top trainers from right across the island of Ireland, and often further afield, taking part. Regulars, new faces and fans of Drumbo Park can look forward to some exciting races in the weeks ahead.

“Drumbo Park has firmly cemented its reputation as one of Northern Ireland’s most popular nights out and the enthralling Tennent’s Gold Cup event is the perfect way to experience all the thrills and excitement of race night.

“Great nights out are synonymous with both Tennent’s Lager and Drumbo Park but this year everything is shaping up to make The 2015 Tennent’s Gold Cup even more exciting.

“The event’s final is traditionally one of the glitziest nights of the year with race-goers encouraged to dress up and really get into the party atmosphere with Tennent’s, which is all part of the craic that makes greyhound racing at Drumbo Park such a fantastic night out.
