Hello all. Couldn’t see a thread so thought I would start one up.

Haydock are holding theirs on Monday 5th March. Brian Hughes. Andy Gibson and Warren Greatreaux confirmed so far.

As usual I will be in attendance and will produce a full run down on what is said.
 
Well done Jon.
Always love seeing this thread appear, means we really are edging closer....
 
The Mirror took me to their one at the Emirates last year, hoping for a repeat invite this year
 
Newcastle do one at Newcastle Racecourse, I will be attending this year hopefully. I will do a write up soon after to give people a read!
 
Good stuff lads. I will have a scout about for dates of other previews and get them posted.
 
Unfortunately following the closure of 'Walkabout' in Temple (London), i'm not sure where this preview night will be held this year. I've been keeping an eye out as i've always found them very informative. If anyone has any clues, please do let us know :very_drunk:

Still never been to a preview evening. Going to go to Chester and possibly Aintree this year though.

Anyone been to the Chester one... or know if Oliver Greenall (National Hunt and Flat Trainer), Henry Daly (National Hunt Trainer), John Morris (Jumping Prospects), Stewart Machin (Racing UK) are particularly good value? (I'll be going regardless)
 
Never been to a preview night but might have to sort something with work so I can make the Chester one.

Worst comes to worst I haven’t got to cook and a couple of bevvys talking racing
