Dubai’s Super Saturday meeting saw World Pool’s globally commingled turnover hit HK$224,802,517 (approx. $28.6m) across eight races on a spectacular card in Meydan, an increase of HK$18.9m (approx. $2.4m) on 2022.

The Ras Al Khor conditions race saw the highest turnover of the eight races, with pari-mutuel organisations from over 20 countries contributing to the HK$33,518,763 (approx. $4.3m) bet on the contest won by Godolphin’s Al Suhail.

Both G1 races on the card saw turnover exceeding HK$30m, with HK$33,366,784 (approx. $4.3m) bet on the G1 Jebel Hatta, while the G1 Al Maktoum Challenge R3 contributed HK$31,560,463 (approx. $4m) to total turnover on the day.

Salute The Soldier won the Al Maktoum Challenge R3 for a second time and in doing so the Bhupat Seemar-trained eight-year-old became 2023’s fourth World Pool Moment of the Day winner, with his groom taking home a cheque for HK$40,000 as well as entry into the World Pool Moment of the Year competition.

Bheekh Singh, groom of Salute The Soldier, said: “I’m delighted! This is a big amount of money for me and it will help with a lot of things. We work so hard, we love our horses and it’s great that the World Pool is rewarding that.

“Salute The Soldier is a legend. I’ve been his groom since 2019 and hopefully we have many more big days ahead.”

Sam Nati, Head of Commingling at the Hong Kong Jockey Club, said“World Pool continues to grow year-on-year and we couldn’t be happier to exceed 2022’s Super Saturday turnover total. Having runners from Hong Kong engaged at the meeting really added to the international flavour that is World Pool.”

“We continue to see unbelievable comparative value and deep liquidity wherever World Pool goes.”

World Pool’s next stop is a return to Meydan Racecourse for the Dubai World Cup meeting on Saturday 25th March.

Sky Bet fuels football fever with first-ever 3D creative at Wembley Boxpark

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Sky Bet welcomed fans arriving to the English Football League (EFL) Play-Off finals at Wembley Stadium with a reactive, dynamic 3D creative spread across Wembley Boxpark – becoming the first brand to bring 3D advertising to the site.

The creative reflected the match day result in real time, changing to depict the winning teams’ logo and colours as soon as the final whistle blew to provide a bespoke backdrop to the celebrations of the fans pouring out of the stadium.

Culminating at Wembley Stadium, the Sky Bet Out of Home campaign followed fans throughout their journey to the final, creating an extensive and impactful matchday experience.
Starting from the teams’ hometowns, the creatives saw the fans off and welcomed them as they arrived at key train and underground stations in London. Fans driving to Wembley could also spot roadside adverts along their routes and at service stations, where club coach trips were likely to stop.
Also, the winning team’s supporters enjoyed celebratory creatives that appeared in their hometown post-match.

The hero site at Wembley Boxpark, which thousands of fans pass before and after games, is at the heart of the activity, living and breathing the match day experience.

The creative reflected pre-game excitement, enabling supporters of both teams to tap into the matchday spirit once the match finished, to enhance the euphoria and give fans a great send-off.
The campaign celebrates ten years of Sky Bet’s EFL sponsorship and is its first 3D activation. The high-impact media plan was booked by EssenceMediacom, Sky Bet’s new media agency. EssenceMediacom played a key role in bringing the campaign to the fans, using its expertise to identify and secure the best sites to target along the fan journey, and working closely with the production team to help ensure testing of the creatives and organising content capture.

Leigh Peacock-Goodwin, Head of Brand and Sponsorship at Sky Bet, said about the campaign: “This high-impact creative is an exciting milestone in our ten-year sponsorship of the EFL. We’re proud to be the first to bring a 3D OOH experience to Boxpark and add a finishing touch to, what is already, an incredible matchday experience for football fans. By offering this reactive real-time creative, we’re able to share those moments that really matter to our audiences, and position ourselves as a brand that understands what football is all about.”

Hannah Cooper, OOH Director, EssenceMediacom, commented: “Getting Sky Bet to the heart of the action was integral to the media plan, and Boxpark is the perfect spot to unveil the eye-catching 3D creative which brings the whole OOH campaign together. As the first brand to leverage the possibilities of 3D at this site, Sky Bet is re-inventing what the visual match day experience looks like, and we are excited to help drive these breakthroughs for our clients.”

Mike Smith, CEO at OPEN Media, said: “In what’s been a campaign of firsts, we are delighted to have worked in partnership with Sky Bet to celebrate the milestone 10 year partnership between Sky Bet and the EFL. As OPEN Media’s first ever 3D Perspective campaign to be activated on our Wembley Boxpark site, the campaign further exemplifies our shared commitment to delivering media innovation, while strengthening our association with prominent sporting events and cultural moments”
