Cheltenham Preview Nights 2018

Some great preview nights there Mayo !, I'd definitely like to do the 2nd of March one with John francombe etc ,.
That should be a great night . ( but probably not able to this year ),, shame.
 
Hi, first post here been reading for a while now love the content here! Went to a preview night at Taunton racecourse last year which was well worth the short trip after giving me Labaik in the supreme would have never have gone for it otherwise! Also try to make the one in Cirencester which normally has a pretty decent panel. Taunton this year is Friday 9th March (Taunton Racecourse) & Cirencester Wednesday 7th March at The Kings Head.
 
Hey Ashley, welcome, and nice touch on Labaik.

I didn't even manage to back it, with Jamie Codd putting it up on TFF Podcast, lol.

I might try to make that Taunton one, as I'm only an hour away. Is it easy to park right on the course, and close to the preview?

Hi mate. Yea I can’t remember who offered it up now but it was a great shout and paid nicely for my day and night! The event is held in one of the racecourse bars and there’s plenty of parking, was well worth the entry fee and they offered up some great prizes last year in a secret auction.

Always nice to have a freeroll for the day, that's for sure!

I'll try and get down for that, if I can wangle it.
 
Thanks for the heads up about this (Haydock Park) preview night (which I organsise!). For those who do not know him Andy Gibson runs the excellent 'Cheltenham Trail' website as well as doing media work in the sport. Our compere will be SIS broadcaster Gareth Leonard. Our sponsors (Star Sports) will also be sending one of their traders to join the panel with excellent betting news on market movers etc. Those attending can also purchase Racing Post/Weatherby's guides at less than half price. Our sponsors also usually offer matched bets up to £50 if placed on the night. We also hold a raffle for the IJF which has raised over £2000 for the charity in the last 4 years. The event sold out last year and hopefully will do again this time. Tickets now on sale - just £10!

Has anyone been to / recommend any decent preview nights in the South?

Id just check out the panel and judge from that jono.

I used to go but not sure you gain that much info really. Id say the regular posters on here know as much as the average preview panellist.
Just another night out really.

I enjoy the streams though.

These comments obviously dont apply to Haydock ;).

Welcome to the forum Sharky!

Is it hard to organise a preview night? I am going to yours and it'll be my first ever... very excited...

£10 seems a bargain. Souinds like I'll need plenty though for some "boosted" prices :triumphant:
 
Plenty of time to do one this year - all you need is a pub, a panel and a mic.......
