Expert panel to analyse the Dubai World Cup

David Marnane Racing and McGettigan­s team-up in innovative racing scheme

-

David Marnane has been one of the most supportive and successful internatio­nal trainers at the Dubai Carnival with six winners and more than 30 placed runners over the years.

McGettigan­s, a name synonymous with entertainm­ent and horse racing, have joined forces with David Marnane Racing, to establish an expert and innovative panel of experts that will speak on the $30 million Dubai World Cup meeting.

Royal Ascot and Cheltenham do it and now Meydan too. Entry is Free and there will lots of chances to win prizes donated by Godolphin as well as the hosts.

They constitute a serious line up of horse racing experts with a world of knowledge.

Representa­tives of David Marnane Racing and McGettigan­s will be on hand to “meet and greet” and they will be hoping this is the first of many such nights allowing us to become better informed about the horses and hear some snippets of informatio­n we would not usually be exposed to.

Both evenings are certain to provide loads of entertainm­ent to set us up for Saturday afternoon at Meydan. The panels include Gary O Brien — Irelands Voice of Racing, Laura King- Dubai Racing Channel, Pat Cummins — Hong Kong Racing, Martin Harley — Group 1 winning jockey, and

Stephen Molyneux — Dubai Racing Channel on March 22 (at McGettinga­ns Trade Centre) and Rishi Pershad — Leading Racing Commentato­r, Colm O Donoghue — World Class Jockey, Kieran Fallon — 6 times British Champion jockey, Geoffrey Riddle — Internatio­nal Racing Journalist and Terry Spargo — Dubai’s Voice of Racing (McGettigan­s, Bonnington Hotel, JLT). Both sessions begin at 7.30pm.
