2023 Preview Evenings

Apologies if this puts a dampener on anyone's perception of these events, which have now become an industry all of their own now, mostly bookmaker sponsored media whore glamfests, but you'll go to them and be very bemused at the pearls of wisdom being thrown your way. Because you'll have heard it here, weeks and months back.

Is the football ground one any good?

I always go to the one at the racecourse, but never been to any others. Might explore a few others this year...

Last year wasn’t great to be honest, Davy was doing 2 that night so was about an hour late.

I just like to do it as part of the build up, the calm before the storm.

Slightly different views on last year's then! :highly_amused:
 
Cheers Stormez. Made me very happy that. Hunters Yarn -County.... lovely. DC tipping up Lots of Joy for MNH was a surprise but a nice bonus. Risk Belle to Boodles I like to.
 
Happy to see DC has Impaire ranked No.1 for the Ballymore
 
Klassical Dream is alive...

No we're skipping it this year Craig. We were all a bit disappointed to be honest.

Let's catch up at the course :encouragement:

Quite enjoyed this one.

Great arguement / debate around the BANC .... although not just about Gerri Colombe and Sir Gerhard!

Also, a huge tip for Tenzing in the Ultima.... non runner :satellite:
 
Afraid I was struggling with the accents, and that was before I got to Winters. Though I do like him, he’s bonkers.

As a Geordie I'm sure you can see the irony :highly_amused:
