Wednesday 26th April will be the opening day of this year's Perth Festival and the start of another busy season at Perth races. The three day festival is once again set to attract the stars of NH racing to Tayside. Great NH racing over the three days continues to attract a wide range of business interest, new sponsors of the this big racing event in Scotland include The Allied Irish Bank (GB), John Smith's, Gala Casino Dundee, The Tullibardine Distillery and Steadfast Scotland, will be new names enjoying considerable profile at the event, while Betdaq.co.uk and The Press & Journal maintain their prestigious positions as main sponsors on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th respectively. In addition to this support from local and national companies the festival this year will be held in association with attheraces.com.

"We are all once again looking forward to three exciting days racing, taking us into another busy season. All winter we prepare for these three big days and bookings are now coming in thick and fast. There are one or two corporate spaces left, hopefully these will go shortly and our new viewing restaurant is proving very popular once again. The welcome sunshine this week is bringing the track towards perfection, additional stabling is in place for the anticipated big fields and we can't wait for that magic moment when the runners leave our Parade Ring to get things under way soon after 2pm on Wednesday week" Sam Morshead Racecourse Manager
