Cheltenham Preview Nights 2018

His choice was made prior to dublin festival, at that time Monalee had fallen on it's last start. I'd say on that level alone that if they asked him to commit at that point as they wanted to let someone else ride in dublin if he couldn't. Then the choice was simple.
The most interesting would be if he's honest in stating which he would ride now, if he had the choice.

I also think Davy is standing by PP Owner/Trainer as they've been very good to him. He's chosen wrong Imo

Yep, it would have been really brave to potentially piss them off prior to dublin also.
 

Earlier in week

This game is all about opinions. I do have doubts about PP, but he is still my absolute banker of the festival.

Chapman, what an idiot.

I'm a fan in a general sense, but he's almost become a parody/charachateur of himself and this is exaggerated more than ever....

Heard NOTHING worthwhile so far...

Then again, it is Sunday night and I'm having a beer watching people talk about Cheltenham, so I can't knock it
:p
 
Just watched 10 mins of that which was more than enough...think somebody else said it elsewhere but would much rather listen to a few of the guys on here
 
Who is the chap next to Chapman, Brian?
 
If anyone manages to watch all please type up anything interesting, had to switch off when I saw Chapman

Spot on - the Mrs had dancing with ice on before and that is garbage. This has been good craic but not going to learn anything new

Enjoying it more than Bet Bright but that isn't saying much.

Just caught the tale end about Footpad bleeding. Someone else suggested that on another forum. Wouldn't be surprised.

Hold that thought! Would it be possible to set up an interactive session for members of this forum so that we can swap latest views on the races; possible next weekend?. Of course, many of the opinions are to be found in the copious threads for each race but they would take until the 17th to plough through at this stage; having a single session would get all the thoughts summarized in an efficient, maybe even coherent, format. What do you think?
 
i used to enjoy these preview nights online
Not so much for info i didn't previously have
Just like kev,I enjoy general chat about the festival
Have to say they have seriously deteriorated lately
From drunk audiences to drunk panels
Lack of knowledge,panellists playing with their phones and not hearing the questions they are been asked
Poor viewing most of it
