The New York Racing Association (NYRA) announced Friday that
TwinSpires.com, a
leading Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) provider, will serve as title sponsor of
the Grade 1, $1 million Wood Memorial as part of a two-year partnership
agreement. The 90th renewal of the 1 1/8-mile race, to be run on April 5 at
Aqueduct, serves as a major stepping stone to the May 3 Kentucky Derby.
“We are proud to partner with NYRA to be the title sponsor of the
TwinSpires.com Wood Memorial,” said Jeremy Clemons, Vice President of Marketing
for TwinSpires.com. “The Wood Memorial has traditionally been one of the most
influential prep races for the Kentucky Derby and as such we are excited to
provide TwinSpires.com players from across the country an extra rooting interest
through our “Wood
Winback” promotion. TwinSpires.com players will get all of their win bets on
the Wood Memorial refunded if the Wood winner goes on to win the 140th Kentucky
Derby. We look forward to our players cheering on the TwinSpires.com Wood
Memorial winner in the Kentucky Derby.”
“We are delighted to partner with TwinSpires.com on Aqueduct’s premier race,”
said Chris Kay, President & Chief Executive Officer for NYRA. “Before a national
audience, we look forward to wishing our TwinSpires.com Wood Memorial winner,
and undoubtedly a couple of others from the race, the very best of luck when
they move on from Aqueduct to compete in the 140th Run for the Roses.”
