I've never actually been to one, and I don't think they'll have any in the north west? And I'm not sure anyone I know would want to go .... but watching them online and reading through the transcripts line by line on here had become part of my ritual haha

Kev i went to haydock last year and really enjoyed it.

I will be there again mate.
 
I'd love to go over and make a weekend of the Final Furlong one, but getting about is a hassle for me, and I don't want to punish my liver too badly before Cheltenham week :very_drunk:
 
Lets Live Racing Preview at Cheltenham Town FC, Monday night before festival in aid of Injured Jockeys Fund

* PAUL JONES - statistical form analyst for ATR & former author of the Cheltenham Festival Betting Guide
* TOM MESSENGER - recently retired jockey with nearly 200 winners under his belt & now working as assistant trainer to the powerhouse Dan Skelton yard
* MICHAEL SHINNERS - racecourse PR Manager for Skybet
* RYAN HATCH - won the RSA Chase in 2016 & was riding as No1 to the powerful Nigel Twiston Davies yard until taking a fall at Cheltenham in early December
* TOM BELLAMY - top conditional jockey who is attached to the very powerful Alan King yard
* DAVY RUSSELL - former Irish Champion Jockey who won the 2014 Gold Cup on Lord Windermere, he is sure to have a great book of rides this year as usual
 
Not much of a chance I dont think but does anybody know of one in or around Nottingham? Would live to try one out but can't travel too far
 
Good line up at Cheltenham FC - that will put it up to those running Centaur event.
 
It's a private one OV, run by the syndicate Lets Live Racing.
Used to be at the Royal Oak, Prestbury, moved to the football ground a couple of years ago, limit of around 200 I guess.
Mark Ball (heads up the syndicate) won't be competing with any other preview, I thought the Centaur evening was on the Sunday, has this just changed ?

Your right Ista and I remember your posts from it last year. I know Davy does loads of these but he is probably best informed man in country by time he gets there ! Paul Jones always worth listening too. Noce touch to have Ryan Hatch on the panel. Hope he is on the mend.
 
That wouldn't be too far from back home in Birmingham, will have to see who I can grab to go with :D
