Cheltenham Festival Previews 2017

[Old Vic]

Not much of a chance I dont think but does anybody know of one in or around Nottingham? Would live to try one out but can't travel too far

Cant see much last year Ryan - Warwick normally have one but guess that is over an hour ?

[Old Vic]

It's a private one OV, run by the syndicate Lets Live Racing.
Used to be at the Royal Oak, Prestbury, moved to the football ground a couple of years ago, limit of around 200 I guess.
Mark Ball (heads up the syndicate) won't be competing with any other preview, I thought the Centaur evening was on the Sunday, has this just changed ?

Your right Ista and I remember your posts from it last year. I know Davy does loads of these but he is probably best informed man in country by time he gets there ! Paul Jones always worth listening too. Noce touch to have Ryan Hatch on the panel. Hope he is on the mend.

I remember settling in with some beers for that last year, I think I Might have even turned down a pub visit.

Sorry slight typo mistake by me it's not betfair it's betbright, got accounts with both!! I got an email saying I had been selected and invited to come, I have an account with betbright and fair play to them last year I won a prize draw with them because I had an ante post bet for royal ascot I got two free tickets to royal ascot with a free bar, waitress service and 4 course dinner, they were worth about £300 each...!! Not bad, can only assume as I've had a few antepost punts for cheltenham with them is why I got selected
