COME RACING ON THE ROWLEY MILE ON SATURDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER TO HEAR LAST YEAR’S WINNER DANNY ARCHER DEFEND HIS CROWN IN THE HENRY CECIL COMMENTATOR CHALLENGE AGAINST SIX OF NEWMARKET’S MOST EXCITING UP AND COMING TRAINERS.
One of the highlights of the weekend, six rising stars of the Newmarket training ranks will take part in the 2021 Henry Cecil Commentator Challenge, sponsored by Dr Johnny Hon, when the popular competition returns to the Rowley Mile on Saturday 18th September.
Trainers Kevin Philippart De Foy, Harry Eustace, Ed Crisford, George Boughey, James Ferguson and Tom Clover will all face the microphone as they attempt to win the Julian Wilson award for best commentary.
Racing journalist and presenter, Danny Archer, completes the line-up as he gets the chance to defend his title, having received the most public votes in last year’s competition held during lockdown.
DANNY ARCHER
I am 25 and have worked in racing as a sports journalist and presenter since the age of 15. I started at the Racing Post and now work for Racenews, a news outlet which operate on behalf of racecourses. I grew up in Epsom and have been lucky enough to report on the likes of Royal Ascot, The Derby, Grand National, Cheltenham Festival and many more. My ambition is to one day be a presenter and a commentator, mixing between horse racing and other sports.
The Commentator Challenge will be run in aid of the beneficiaries of the Henry Cecil Open Weekend, which are Racing Welfare, Newmarket Pony Academy, and the Yellow Brick Road Community Project.
Donations can be made to the team or to the individual challengers via JustGiving at https://www.justgiving.com/team/commentatorchallenge21
