A spokesperson for William Hill said: “We are looking forward to being involved with Racing League again. It’s a really innovative and unique concept within horse racing which offers great prize money and competitive racing for all involved, and we’d like to continue supporting that.
“It promises to be a fantastic six weeks and we’re looking forward to seeing who will win the race to the top and be crowned the 2023 champions.
“As was the case in 2022, we’re also putting up £4,600 for grooms. They play a vital role in the horse racing industry and should be rewarded for all the hard work they put in.”
In 2023, Racing League will see seven teams of racehorse trainers and jockeys representing seven regions of GB&I competing across six fixtures, starting on 27 July at Great Yarmouth.
Over £2,000,000 in prize money will be available across a total of 42 races with teams earning points for their finishing positions in each race.
