Cheltenham Festival Previews 2021

It must be of some concern to them that the ATR preview is so little thought of? Even back when I was enjoying the pissed up chaos and griiefing Tony Keenan in the chat, most of the comments were "this is dreadful"

Doubt it. Thousands tuned in, there are a lot of bell ends out there, including me and you apparently :glee:

I thought it was interesting right at the end of the ATR preview when giving their naps and ew selections Codd put up Koshari, I’ve heard little to nothing about this one (though I’ve done no work on the Coral Cup of such), it would have been nice if he’d been pressed on this selection but looking at the profile he immediately goes in the ‘interesting’ catagory...

I remember at the Dublin festival telling everyone on the WhatsApp chat after the race to rewind and watch him being given the most obvious plot of all time.

Took 20s any race straight away then too. Think he’s the coral cup winner at this stage as well.

This 100% - some sort of alternative preview that skim over the Championship Races where most punters will have formed an opinion already and then dig into the Handicaps and lesser graded races - find some value and offer some genuine insight rather than spending half an hour arguing over which of the 2 joint favs will win the Champion Hurdle.

Any link Stormez ??
 
Star Sports have been the generous sponsor of a preview I’ve been holding in Oxfordshire for a number of years.

This year, Luke Tarr at Star has organised a live streamed one for us all to watch.

It will be held at 6pm on Wednesday 10th March where Luke will be joined by Davy Russell, David Pipe, Johnny Ward & Bill Esdaile.

Simply click this link and you will get to the site.

He said he will match everyone’s first bet on the festival that evening up to ?25 but that’s only between 6-8pm so don’t miss out. Good luck, go smash the bookie!!!

I’d also recommend registering on the link over the next couple of weeks to save you doing it on the night.

3hr30 mins just for the 4 championship races?

what could they possibly be waffling about for that long

I couldn't bring myself to listen to Emmet Kennedy for 3 mins much less 3hrs plus ffs!

Time management is a really important part of these online previews and a lot of them are getting it wrong.

Such a shame they didn’t release one with just the Rory clips
 
Final furlong one was torture! Half an hour a race almost! Knowledgable guests but by Christ they all wanted their say on every horse in every race!
strangely enough I can’t wait for next one, more out of curiosity for their handicap selections though

I opened it and saw the run time and baulked but then insta closed when Kennedy appears dressed like Vanilla Ice talking about the pandemic like its a new phenomenon. Instant off.

Geniunely used to not properly be Cheltenham until I'd listened to that preview. Such a sorry decline.

And totally with you on timing Charlie. I'm known at work as a dictator about timings for presentations but if you aren't thinking enough about making your content relevant and comprehensive in a timely manner, you probably aren't thinking enough about the quality of that content.

Everything should pass my "so what?" test to make it into the final cut
