The Star Join The Ready2Race Revolution

14th Aug 2014

Inglis today announce that The Star have joined the revolution of the Ready2Race Sale in Sydney.

The Star, Sydney’s premier entertainment destination, is a perfect fit with the young and progressive Ready2Race Sale that is focused on quality.

Clients from Asia and Australia looking for immediate racetrack returns with gallopers from the Ready2Race Sale will stay at The Darling, Sydney's most lovingly detailed hotel. The Star is also set to host the Ready2Race welcome drinks at The Darling.

“We are delighted to welcome The Star to the portfolio of Inglis partners. Already a sponsor of the Australian Turf Club through The Star Epsom Handicap, it was a great fit for us to work together with the sale rounding out a wonderful weekend of racing in Sydney,” said Mark Webster, Inglis Managing Director.

The best racing, entertainment, hospitality and sales that Sydney has to offer in Spring will be on show at The Star Epsom Raceday at Royal Randwick on Saturday 4 October through to The Star Ready2Race Sale three days later.

“The Star is thrilled to be working with the Inglis team on the Ready2Race Sale, a much-anticipated event on the Australian racing calendar,” said Richard Howarth, General Manager Marketing, Sales and Entertainment, The Star.

“With spring racing being such an exciting and entertaining time of year, and The Star being Sydney’s only casino and leading entertainment destination, this is a wonderful partnership that we are excited to be a part of.

“The Star has a multitude of entertainment venues for race-goers to enjoy after their day at the track including award-winning signature restaurants, bars and live music venues along with 5 star accommodation, a day spa, luxury retail and world-class gaming facilities along with our $100 million Event Centre, purpose built to host international talent and events. We are very much looking forward to being the official after party venue of the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival,” continued Mr Howarth.
