2014 Cheltenham Festival Preview Night Reports

[Old Vic]

Click on the link to go to our 2015 Cheltenham Festival Preview Night Report Thread

Our most viewed threads for last two years so hoping we can get everyone contributing to the 2014 edition.

For those who like to check back to see which preview night panelists were hot and not in 2013 this is the 2013 Cheltenham Festival Preview Night Thread.

We would expect Exeter Racecourse to be first out in GB in mid February with Wincanton and Bangor on Dee following on in the weeks. If anyone is promoting a night more than happy to give it a plug on here in return for a bit of feedback from the evening.

Last year saw a lot of twitter reporting and we will be keeping an eye on that throughout the next nine weeks or so.

In the meantime check out stats tips and video form on these links.

Oliver Brady's Shabra Charity Night is on 4 March

I would be pretty sure the official Cheltenham preview at Centaur and unofficial one at the Plough will be on Monday 10 March.

JP Festival evening is at Copa on Cheltenham on 6 March- presume they will also do their usual videos before that. Details below:

We think we’re the first in the UK and Ireland to publish details of our Cheltenham Preview Evening for 2014. We’ve already taken 7 bookings – you can book here – for our event which will be held in Copa on Regent Street, Cheltenham.

At our Preview Evening in Copa’s function room, we’ll look ahead to the main Festival races with expert analysis and tips from a panel including Cathryn Fry, Nick Watts, Rory Delargy, a trainer plus a bookie with me JP, chairing. Last year Cathryn Fry put up 25/1 shot Holywell so we’ll be hoping for more of the same.

Doors open at 7pm with preview starting upstairs in the function room of Copa at 7.30pm.

Ticket price of £14 includes glass of fizz and raffle entry or half-price at £7 for JPFestival.com Community Members. Please note this special offer closes 31 January 2014. SIGN UP FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP
