In one of the major sponsorship deals clinched by RWITC, the Indian 2000 Guineas to be run in December
will be sponsored by Diageo India Pvt. Ltd. Their leading liquor brand "Johnnie Walker" will be
associated with this event which is one of the top five races in the country.
Mr. Vivek Jain Chairman, Marketing and Media Working Group said:
"We are indeed thrilled with the tie up. Diageo is not only the world's biggest liquor company with international brands of repute, but has promised
to make this into a stellar event of the Indian racing calendar."
Mr. Asif Adil, Managing Director, Diaego India, stated, "We look forward to working with the RWITC and
are excited at this association."
A few months ago, the RWITC had confirmed The Indian 1000 Guineas sponsorship by Deutsche Bank and has thus
obtained new sponsorships with two leading corporate companies for the first two classics to be run in
December, 2006 at Mahalaxmi.
