There is no doubt that naming a race at a Salisbury race meeting provides the ultimate racing experience. Naming a race becomes a hugely enjoyable and rewarding focal point for the day.

Many races are named after a company or a company's product. There is an equally high number of races that are named after someone's birthday, a wedding or wedding anniversary, or in memory of a loved one who perhaps enjoyed horse racing or going to Salisbury races.

Included:

• Your named race appearing within the official Race Programme, above the runners and riders in that race, alongside a full page advert/profile dedicated to the company or the person that the race is named after
• Your named race appearing in the racing section of most national daily newspapers and 'The Racing Post'
• Your named race on TV's in approximately 8,000 betting shops around the UK
