FOOTBALLING legend Harry Redknapp will be winging in to Chepstow Racecourse next month for a spot of banter about his sporting and TV career.
The former West Ham player and Spurs manager loves his racing too, owning Cheltenham Festival winner Shakem Up'Arry, which landed the TrustATrader Plate Handicap Chase last March.
Harry’s also been a regular on TV since retiring from football management in 2017, starring in the likes of reality shows Harry's Heroes, Euro Having A Laugh, Harry Redknapp's Sandbanks Summer and I'm A Celebrity.
An Afternoon at The Races with Harry Redknapp, which includes breakfast, is in the Trackside Marquee at the Friday, November 22 Jump Meeting, where he'll regale racegoers with stories and insights while a knowledgeable tipping panel will be guiding punters to a few winners.
Tickets £79 are available via www.chepstow-racecourse.co.uk
Meanwhile, Monmouthshire Gold Cup-winning jockey and Welsh National-winning trainer Sam Thomas celebrated another success with a 14L win for 2/5 favourite Celtic Dino in the Maiden Hurdle at Wincanton under Dylan Johnston.
On targets for the five-year-old, Thomas said The Betfair Hurdle at Newbury in February would be the ‘obvious plan’.
“He'd need a run every month to qualify, as you need four runs, but that would be the sort of thing we'd be looking at ideally," he added.
