The survey says the show will take place at Earls Court, London between 13 and 15 June 2014 and will show off all the elements that make up the British horseracing scene:
• A chance to talk to top trainers and jockeys
• See thoroughbred horses in the training ring
• Practise being a race commentator
• Riding a classic race on an Equiciser
• The betting village – talk to tipsters and betting experts to learn about betting
• Chance to learn about racehorse ownership and syndicates
• A Jockey Bar hosted by well-known jockeys
• Exhibitors from betting companies, racing clubs, ownership syndicates and other racing related services and products
• Numerous chances for hospitality, food and drink
The survey also says the show plans to feature the 2014 winning Derby horse and its connections, the race having been run a week before the show in early June.
It all sounds a very enjoyable day out for racing enthusiasts and a good idea to promote racing to a new audience. An internet search yields little further information on the show and there is no obvious mention of it on the BHA’s website or Lovetheraces.com, so maybe the results of the survey will determine whether the event actually goes ahead or not. I, for one, hope it does.
