Newmarket trainers step into the commentary box for the 32Red Newmarket Open Weekend
On Saturday, 17th September, the first day of the 32Red Newmarket Open Weekend, racegoers will once again be treated to exclusive on course commentary at the Rowley Mile. A handful of Newmarket based trainers, plus one other special guest, have agreed to commit to learning the art of commentating in aid of the beneficiaries of the Open Weekend; The Racing Welfare Newmarket Housing Project and the Newmarket Day Centre.
Classic winning trainer and current holder of the Julian Wilson Award for best commentary from last year’s event, William Haggas, will again put his commentary skills to the test. Trainers set to join the reigning champion in the commentary box will be George Margarson, Roger Varian, Gay Kelleway, Michael Bell and David Simcock all of whom will be aiming to knock Haggas off the podium.
These trainers may be masters of the horse but calling a race is no easy task .Our special guest though will be hoping that his experience behind the microphone will give him that competitive edge. Micky Quinn, former professional footballer and current presenter on TalkSPORT radio, will also be calling them home for one race on the day.
Each guest commentator will undergo rigorous training and receive some of the very best advice on offer from industry professionals, as they bid to ensure a word perfect performance for their allocated race.
