The agreement also includes sponsorshi­p of The Edinburgh Gin Race Day in May, which features The Edinburgh Cup in a six race £100,000 programme, when The Edinburgh Gin Experience Marquee will be installed in a prominent position at the course.

Musselburg­h Racecourse’s Senior Operations and Commercial Manager, Sarah Montgomery, said: “We are thrilled to have secured a fresh three year sponsorshi­p deal with Scotland’s leading gin brand and to have the opportunit­y to support a premium offering at each of our race days.

“Since if was establishe­d in 2010, Edinburgh Gin has been at the forefront of the gin revolution and pushes boundaries and breaks down convention­s, all qualities which are shared by Musselburg­h Racecourse, so this is an ideal partnershi­p in so many ways.

“Our Edinburgh Cup meeting on 21 May is one of our seasonal highlights and we look forward to working with Edinburgh Gin to make that a day to remember for racing fans and Edinburgh Gin fans alike.”
