Wonder if Betfair will do theirs. Easy enough to socially distance the panel and have no audience
 
I emailed Mark Ball yesterday , Re the Cheltenham football club one and he said , Unlikely to go ahead , and didn't think they would do a Zoom type one .
But will update if anything changes.

Ball Mark has confirmed no Zoom preview.
See you in 2022 was his e-mail sign off...
 
Davy might have to ride a couple of extra winners to make up the shortfall in income from virtual previews.

Either that or he'll manage to be at 3 at the same time
 
Have any of these zoom previews been confirmed yet ?
If anyone comes across a schedule please post here and I'll move to post #1
 
Welcome along to this year's Champ.ie Cheltenham Festival 2021 Early Bird Preview Show. Barry Doyle (Host), Ronan Groome (The Irish Field), Mike Vince (Broadcaster) & Davy Boland (Racing's Inside Track TV) analyse 13 of the Grade One races. Each race preview has been uploaded individually.

Not Covid nor geography can stop you looking fwd to the 2021 #CheltenhamFestival from the comfort of your sofa! The brilliant @DanBarberTF of Timeform/RTV plus other panel member(s) to be announced. Thurs March 11th @ 7.30.
?12.50/ticket. DM me to reserve a place. #racing #Zoom

This was posted by Jonathon Doidge on Twitter. No offence to them but considering there is so many previews, forums like this and info on social media, I think charging for a zoom call is as mental as it gets regarding Cheltenham build up.

Does anybody know if Betfair are doing theirs this year, albeit probably all remotely?

I don't know, but you'd be absolutely baffled if they didn't!

As the Best Tipster you've made your way on to the FJ one :tan:

We (Baildon Cricket Club) will be running ours on Tuesday 9th March via Zoom.

Hosting will be Derek 'Tommo' Thompson and on the panel are:

Daryl Jacob
David Carr
David Jennings
Luke Elder
Ross Todd

Tickets can be bought via https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/2021-cheltenham-festival-preview-night-tickets-133250500835

Although this year it will be on Zoom it will still be a good night, not too serious but some decent tips. We'll also run an online raffle with some free bets on offer (?35 bets rather than ?1 here and there).
