“High value prizes and the prestige of the Tennent’s Gold Cup mean that this festival of racing attracts top trainers and dogs from right across the island of Ireland, and often further afield.

“We’re looking forward to some great races at Drumbo Park in the weeks ahead as some of the best dogs in the country chase gold in the Tennent’s Gold Cup.

“Drumbo Park is now well known as one of Northern Ireland’s most popular nights out and, for regular race-goers, the Tennent’s Gold Cup nights are social as well as sporting highlights.”

Victoria Brown, Tennent’s Brand Manager, said: “Traditionally the Grand Final of the Tennent’s Gold Cup is one of the most thrilling race nights of the year and one of the glitziest nights for race-goers as everyone gets into party mood.

“Expect high octane energy from the crowds as well as the dogs, as everyone screams encouragement for their personal favourite and enjoys the legendary craic.

“The Grand Final will be over in less than 29 seconds – these are some of the fastest dogs in the country, after all – but the celebrations and fun just keep on running.

“Great nights out are synonymous with both Tennent’s Lager and Drumbo Park and we’re delighted to be part of the venue’s continuing success story.”

To complete a great night out at the Grand Final, race-goers can book a table in Drumbo Park’s luxurious restaurant with its panoramic views of the track. The stadium restaurant provides a gourmet menu and luxury seating to accommodate around 300 guests.
