Cheltenham Festival Previews 2021

Wonder if Betfair will do theirs. Easy enough to socially distance the panel and have no audience

Details of Betfair ones below...


The festival is almost here and with fans unable to attend our famous Cheltenham preview night we’ve decided to create 3 preview days instead!

Paul Nicholls and Harry Derham will be the guests for our first preview night, streamed on Betfair channels, on 9th March, followed by Gordon Elliott with Gary O’Brien on 10th March.

And we want your questions for Paul and Gordon – submit yours below and we’ll ask them our favourites ahead of Cheltenham.

We’ve also got a bumper show on 11th March which will see the likes of Kevin Blake, Tony Calvin and Jane Mangan giving their expert analysis and tips for the festival.

Three days not to be missed across Betfair social channels:
 
Betfair ripping the @rse out of it with 3 nights.
would rather 1 good one.
saying that i'll end up watching all 3 but the 2nd and 3rd would hold the most interest.
 
Coral / Racing Post - In The Know on now .... Top Tipster ..... Tom Segal . and Trainer Henry de Bromhead on tonight .:cower:
 
Does any one know how much trainers/jockeys/pundits charge for doing these preview evenings? Would love to organise one for next year on Isle of Man, but would obviously need contacts to get people here as well know rough costs before even beginning to consider!
im probably realise it’s not likely to happen as they are al so busy on mainland of Ireland and uk, but I can dream

A couple hundred quid i'm lead to believe thou a few are for charity and that might be the best way to approach for something like the IJF etc. Hard to say no to charity and folk paying don't think anyone is skimming for waffle and actually want to create a decent night.

Try getting hold of Ball Mark , he's organised one for many years and had the likes of Davy, Dicky, Scu amongst others, the proceeds are usually split between IJF and a local charity of his choice.
Isle of Mann might prove a struggle though re travel/costs...

Thanks guys, will get in contact! Is genuinely something I’d love to do! Davy would be class, but quite a few that I really enjoy listening to and bring bang in middle of Irish Sea would be nice to get couple over from each side

Yeah, I was going to say. I read who was down for the preview, and started to get a handover like headache...

I love Fergal on twitter, pure gold, but this line up looks like a listed race at Southwell. Its a listed race, but f*ck me, I really cant be arsed to go through the card
