Top post Ron, always enjoy reading the reviews of these which are very helpfully provided by people that have attended. I'm attending both the Wetherby one on the Tuesday and the Leeds one on the Wednesday before the Festival so will provide anything I think might be of interest after.

Enjoyed the Wetherby one in particular last year, that man Jim McGrath, I could listen to him talk racing for hours!
