Cheltenham Festival Previews 2021

I've been pretty disappointed with the previews this year. Loads of mistakes / getting stuff wrong. Thinking DD can go 4 miler when not qualified, not knowing whether the Stayers or Ryanair was the flagship race on day 3, tipping horses in the wrong race that directly contravenes what trainers have said, this list goes on. Still enjoy them on the whole mind

Are Betfair trying to claim this is live at 8pm whilst in Pauls living room with it being light outside :highly_amused::highly_amused::highly_amused:
 
A reminder that this preview taking place tonight.

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.

I don't know why I'm still surprised with how little the jockeys know. Half of them haven't a clue about what's going for what or any of the form. Balls on some of them to turn up and just completely bluff it as they go along. Easy cash I suppose.

Still enjoy them and all part of the build up.

Yes I’d agree with them comments. I enjoy previews but almost the veterans (the guys that have been doing for a few years now) of preview evenings don’t appear to doing them to help people out, just joke around and go against other people in panel. I’ve definitely taken more from those who have point to prove and want to get back the year after, than the likes of Blake and Chapman and company!
I do enjoy them mind, but what’s not to love people talking about my favourite sport relentlessly for hours upon end
100% learn more on this forum though
 
I just watched the Paddy Power review and enjoyed it, Ruby always worth a listen but I love Frank Hickey, like his selections, well worth a look

They used to be almost entirely for charity but are now mostly corporate enterprises, the likes of Chapman and co get paid handsomely for their presence so will feel the need to entertain to justify the fees.

Probably the best one I've seen, covered all 28 races which you generally don't get at any of the others.
Frank is very good and I've always had a man crush on Tony Mullins, well worth the 2 hours...

Do you have an alarm set on your phone Ista ?
To remind you to take the tablets ?

Best bit for me.
That and Ruby's Dynasty hair (Blake Carrington eat your heart out)

I like Frank Hickey but was getting very fed up with the backing shorties isnt my kind of bet. I know there is plenty of shorties but after the first 3 times we were aware whats not your type of bet Frank!
Bar that Frank and Ruby were decent. Tony is always good for a bit of craic. Nina didnt really bring anything to the table

Thanks for sharing Dan, very good read and his 1st day selections apart from Glorious Zoff not being included is all my main fancies for Day 1, so let’s hope he is correct with his selections.

A little surprised he went as big as 8pts on the Ultima?

He has been following Spectre on here I doubt, :congratulatory: I am very sweet on Happygolucky myself and along with The Bosses Oscar & Glorious Zoff are my biggest winners of the week.
