William Hill is the new title sponsor of the Lincoln Handicap at Doncaster, the traditional opening to the British Flat season.
It’s the latest addition to William Hill’s portfolio of big race sponsorships, with the leading bookmaker already the Official Betting Partner of next month’s Grand National Meeting, sponsors of the Cheltenham October Meeting, the new Grade 1 Formby Novices’ Hurdle at Aintree on Boxing Day as well as the Grade 1 Punchestown Champion Chase.
William Hill will sponsor the whole seven-race card at Doncaster, with the Spring Mile, Brocklesby Stakes and Cammidge Trophy among the races now featuring the William Hill title.
Simon & Ed Crisford’s Awaal, second in last year’s contest, and Karl Burke’s Liberty Lane head the betting at 4/1, while last year’s winner, Migration, is 12/1. William Hill will be offering enhanced place terms on the race with the concession available on-course, in-shop, on app and online.
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “The Lincoln is a race deep in history that always attracts a high-quality, competitive field, so we’re delighted to be sponsoring it again.
“The dust has only just settled on the Cheltenham Festival, but with the William Hill Lincoln kicking off the new British Flat season on Saturday, and the Grand National Festival, a meeting we are the Official Betting Partner of, only a few weeks away, it’s a very important and busy time for us.
“We’ll be celebrating our new sponsorship by offering enhanced place terms on the William Hill Lincoln, which hopefully offers customers plenty of value.”

Innovative Australian horse racing data specialist teams up with the United Kingdom’s leading independent sports entertainment group
Planet Sport and Racing and Sports have today announced the founding of a joint venture partnership. The two sporting businesses from either side of the world have teamed up to support each other in their respective commercial plans to develop and grow new markets for sports media and content.
Australian technology, data and media company Racing and Sports is eager to raise its profile in the United Kingdom and Irish media and gaming markets and has signed an agreement with Planet Sport to leverage its long-standing experience in developing direct-to-consumer and B2B markets.
The partnership will enable ASX-listed Racing and Sports to tap into Planet Sport’s owned and operated network of sports media titles, its audiences and commercial relationships. Racing and Sports meanwhile will offer both Planet Sport B2B clients and end-user consumers the captivating and expert content and data that has brought considerable success in the Australian market.
“The opportunity to provide Racing and Sports best-in-class racing content in collaboration with Planet Sport is an exciting opportunity and we look forward to working with the Planet Sport team headed by Barrie and Mike to open up mutually beneficial opportunities,” the Managing Director for Racing and Sports, Brent Dolan, said.
Planet Sport, a United Kingdom-based sports entertainment and media business, has a rich history of engaging international audiences with engaging content but will hugely benefit from Racing and Sports’ incisive and innovative data, honed across decades of experience serving the competitive Australian sport media market. The first elements of this partnership are now available in the racecards on PlanetSport. com.
Hailing the launch of the partnership, the Betting and Gaming Managing Director for Planet Sport, Mike Grenham, said: “Racing and Sports are market leaders in the provision of horse racing and greyhound data, so we’re delighted to be working with it in this exciting and mutually beneficial partnership. We’re looking forward to developing some truly innovative propositions together and driving both our businesses to even greater heights.”
As part of the venture, Planet Sport is set to utilise its design, UX and tech build know-how to design and develop Racing and Sports’ fresh new United Kingdom and Ireland website. Planet Sport will also be leveraging its team of expert sport journalists to provide editorial content for the site.
Though today marks the first formal partnership, the two businesses are no strangers having collaborated on a variety of betting and gaming projects in recent years. The two businesses now look forward to working in tandem to provide fans with a seamless and exciting racing experience.
