The Slavia pojišťovna insurance company will sponsor the Velka Pardubicka

On August 8th, Dostihový spolek, organisers of events at Pardubice racecourse, announced a new race-naming partner for the 129th running of the Velka Pardubicka. The Slavia pojišťovna insurance company, which has operated in the Czech lands for 150 years, will cooperate with Dostihový spolek for at least the next three years. This year’s race will carry the name 129. Velká pardubická se Slavia pojišťovnou (129th running of the Velka Pardubicka with Slavia Insurance). The amount that Slavia pojišťovna will pay for the naming rights has not been announced, but it is rumoured to be less than was paid for the race-naming rights by former sponsor Česká pojišťovna. The 129th running of the Velka Pardubicka with Slavia Insurance will be held at Pardubice racecourse on Sunday, October 13th.
