Thank you very much to those clients who have booked their place for the Value Racing Club Cheltenham Preview which is via zoom on Friday evening next week (10th March). If you haven't already done so but would like to join in, please visit ValueRacingClub.co.uk. The evening will be hosted by Racing TV's Stewart Machin and I will be joined by Gary O'Brien, Tom Lacey, David Pipe and Gavin Sheehan on the panel. It promises to be an entertaining and informative evening which kicks off at 6pm and the cost is £10.00.
Earlier today, I interviewed leading northern trainer Michael Dods for Ahead On The Flat. The Darlington based handler has an outstanding record with sprinters, including Commanche Falls who won the Stewards' Cup for a second consecutive year. Stablemates Azure Blue, Dakota Gold and Gale Force Maya all have terrific seasons, too, in 2022 and the quartet all stay in training this year. Dods also recruited a handful of horses at the Newmarket Horses in Training sale last Autumn and they look interesting additions to Denton Hall Stables.
I have now completed eight interviews for the Talking Trainers section, namely Charlie Appleby, Andrew Balding, Ralph Beckett, George Boughey, Michael Dods, Tim Easterby, William Haggas and Roger Varian. I think it is the strongest line up since Ahead On The Flat was first published in the late 1990s.
