New look The Box Seat returns

A revamped The Box Seat will premier on Trackside from 8pm tomorrow night (Tuesday).

After a break over winter the must-see weekly show is back, with a major refresh.

The show has been re-branded, with a new slicker presentation anchored by commentator Matt Cross, along with Greg O'Connor.

The show's duration has also gone from an hour to 45 minutes and will be broadcast live every week from Trackside's new Addington studios.

Racing journalist Michael Guerin will also chip in with the week's news (and views) and well-known tipster Craig "The Whale" Thompson will highlight his black-bookers and a lot more besides.

This week man of the moment John Dunn will be live on the show, after Diamond Racing's haul of six wins at Addington Raceway last Friday night and there'll also be coverage of the Blue September skydive by Blair Orange, Jonny Cox and Robbie Close that launched this month's campaign.

The show will also be available on hrnz.co.nz, trackside.co.nz, youtube and associated social media channels.
