FEATURE AFTER HOURS
Ever wondered what Willie Mullins watches on Netflix? Or if Joseph O’Brien is a secret Love Island fan? After Hours will be back for the upcoming season to answer all those questions that we really want to know the answers to… After Hours
L ive after all the action from Cheltenham and Blenheim International Horse Trials, ITV Racing ’s Chris Hughes will return to host the hit online show, After Hours . With a selection of guest co-hosts, from TV presenter Rosie Tapner to fellow ITV presenter Alice Plunkett, you can keep up to date with all the day’s events and enjoy the content you didn’t know you needed. “It is such a fun show to do – I really look forward to it,” says Chris. “ After Hours means we are able to highlight the fun side of racing. Obviously, we discuss all the action from the day and the biggest racing stories, but where else are you going to see Rachael Blackmore chatting about her favourite TV show? Or Olympians like Laura Collett talking you through her day at the event… It just doesn’t happen! But After Hours brings it into people’s living rooms and I love that we get to do that. “After Hours is a half-hour show full of exclusive behind-the-scenes content and interviews with the biggest names in the sport. Plus, it provides – we
hope! – the opportunity for viewers to find out what they really want to know about the sport’s most exciting stars. “The whole idea of the show is to open up racing and eventing to a new audience. It gives us a chance to let the personalities of the people in our sport shine through. They are all such great people, and we are not always able to see that when they are interviewed on ITV or before a race because they are so focused on the job in hand. “I enjoy asking them the questions that I think the people at home will want to know! To try to get inside the minds of these top athletes a little, and hopefully, that comes across on the show.” Tens of thousands tuned in to catch up on each day’s action this year, with After Hours streaming live on The Jockey Club’s social media platforms. In the upcoming season, After Hours , brought to you by Glenfarclas, will return to The Festival and The November Meeting for what is sure to be another thrilling set of behind-the-scenes shows.
