Summer Evening Racing - Tommo's Retirement Racenight

Dunstall Park, Gorsebrook Rd, Wolverhampton, WV6 0PE

Description

Join us this July at Wolverhampton Racecourse for a special evening of horse racing as we honour Tommo's remarkable career at his official Retirement Race Night.

Derek 'Tommo' Thompson is a true icon of the racing world. Often called “the voice of horse racing,” his distinctive and energetic commentary has become synonymous with the sport. Known just as much for his quick wit as his unmistakable voice, Tommo has made generations of racegoers smile with classic one-liners like: “It's a photo! That's one for the judge!”, “Are you well? I thought you were!”, and “It's a man, actually, Derek!”
