Festival preview nights

There will be another Cheltenham Festival Preview Evening on Monday the 3rd March 2014. I’ve put together another exciting and entertaining evening on the above date.

VENUE: THE OLD RAILWAY CLUB, MELLING ROAD, AINTREE, LIVERPOOL, L9 0LQ

Last year, the evening featured a star studded panel and the same line up will again appear.

JOHN PARROTT, CHARLIE LONGSDON, BEN PAULING, ANDY HOLDING plus JOHN MORRIS hosting the evening.

COST OF ENTRY : £10 on the night, but please arrive early, as another big crowd is expected to gather.

There will be a Charity raffle for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.

Prizes will include Free Betting Vouchers from various bookmakers. Racecourse Badges & Hospitality prizes. Plus other prizes.

If the evening is anything like last year, you will be surely informed and entertained by the panel of experts who provided so many winners at last years event.

Telephone enquiries 0151 520 0080

Any previews in Ireland lads?

John Parrot Squawk!!

Thought shockster was John Morris for a minute then, that would have been a shock. Been the the Morris one in Maghull a couple of times. Once there was a keep fit/exercise club on in the sports hall downstairs and the P.A. system was piping her through shouting "one more, knees up etc". One of the panel said something about "fat club" prompting the organiser to come into the bar area where the preview night was screaming until she saw John Parrot and then she got a bit tongue tied.

Parrot couldn't even tip a snooker cue. Big Gary will be there to tell everyone that Ladbrokes have just taken 2 million quid on Denman to win the gold cup, followed by someone whispering in his ear, and someone on the panel saying "mmmm these sandwiches are nice".

Tickets, which can be bought by calling the racecourse office on 015395 36340, cost £15 and the price includes a light supper.

The info you get is always in the public domain. Just the various opinions might provoke an angle you hadn't thought of etc. A lot of the time they are good for just making you think slightly differently about a horse you really fancied or one you didn't. Nothing can beat research and private information in the long run.

Arthur Moore is at Cartmels for some random reason

Last year was a great success though i was panicking slightly the morning after when I remembered I had offered everybody in the room a pint if Sam Winner won the Pertemps, luckily for me he was never in the race.

An even braver shout came from the Ian Taylor, who put Bobs Worth as his NAP of and was so confident that it would win that he offered a pint to everybody in the room if it failed.

He was spot on, though I heard he was hiding behind a pint of Tennents at the top of the hill.

jasey are you going to the midlands racing club one?

Yes m8 counting down the days.

think I might go along aswell, pay on the door is it?

Yeah get in early and have pick of the seats

abbot and willie the milk, planning to go to ayr on the 7th and as I travel by train I don't think I could get to Hamilton in time for that one so probably the ayr one after racing is more suitable, is it at the racecourse?

This the highlights of a couple of preview meetings recently held. Interesting

abbott - from livingston, but if i leave Ayr after the last race then by time you get to glasgow and change for hamilton will be close to 8PM i'm thinking

If you left after 2nd last you could get 5.23pm gets you to Glasgow 6.17pm you would then have loads of time to get to hamilton.
If you really wanted to stay for the last you could get the 5.53pm gets you to Glasgow at 6.42pm you can then get the 6.58pm to hamilton west that arrives at 7.16pm
The station is a 3min walk from the venue, if you want to come i'm sure we could hold the start by 5mins.

Both of those would involve you getting a taxi from the racecourse to the train station. I know a few of the guys have done the trip the last few years and its worked out ok.

Cheers

abbott you're a persuasive man!  i'm off to middle east on business tomorrow and due back Thursday, if all goes to plan then ayr and the preview on Friday, I'll check the last race once decs are out but either way thanks to the info below I should make the start, I have what my mate once referred to as a 'gamblers walk'!

PREVIEW AT THE NEW ASTLEY CLUB, IN AID OF RACING WELFARE AND THE RACING CENTRE - FRIDAY 7TH MARCH

7pm start at the New Astley Club, Fred Archer Way, Newmarket. Food will be available between 6 - 9pm.

Last race 5.10pm this year, you will make it no time Gordon!
Let me know if your coming and I will put a ticket by for you at the advance booking price.

Ayr event has been cancelled. Sponsor issue I believe.
GL with your night Abbott. I had Ian Taylor at my local preview night on Friday. Cracking night and Ian had a great night with lots of views and booze.

Went to the Aintree preview night this evening. Good night, nothing outlandish learned but one of two interesting comments. Brief write up below.

CL – Charlie Longsdon
BP – Ben Pauling
JP – John Parrott
AH – Andy Holding

Supreme
BP: Splash of Ginge has to be considered after winning Betfair Hurdle, will not be easy to pass. Vaniteux goes here after an excellent bit of work the other day. Not much mention of Josses Hill.
JP: Irving.
AH: Top 4 head and shoulders above the rest, two chasing types (Vautour, Josses Hill) against two speed types (Irving, Wicklow Brave). At the prices, Wicklow Brave, but concerns regarding jumping.
There were a couple of positive mentions for Wilde Blue Yonder.

Arkle
CL: Can’t have Dodging Bullets, not good enough. Champagne Fever fan.
BP: Champagne Fever one of the good things of the week.
JP: Very bullish regarding Trifolium’s chances.
AH: Trifolium is an each way bet to nothing.

Champion Hurdle
CL: The New One, has a lot of time for horses coming back from 2m4f to contest the Champion Hurdle.
BP: My Tent Or Yours killed Nicky Henderson’s dog. Likes The New One for same reasons as Charlie.
JP: Keen on The New One. Can’t see Our Conor winning.
AH: My Tent Or Yours is an e/w cert.

Day 1 notes:
Quevega’s preparation was questioned after Mullins admitting she wasn’t completely impressing him so they eased off her. Ben Pauling said that perhaps she is like Simonsig, who would go off the boil if you started to do too much with him at home. Thinks the fact they’ve laid off Quevega could be a positive and bring her spot on if a similar thing applies to her.
CH: Pendra should be giving 10lbs to the field in the novice handicap chase, not receiving 3lbs. Best horse he’s trained, a 150+ horse and best chance of the week. Hopes AP rides.
AH: Same race, likes The Romford Pele as very well handicapped. Also Firth Of Clyde will appreciate step up in trip for astute trainer.

Neptune
CL: Killala Quay was sick last time out but is his best novice. Has an e/w chance. Would run Red Sherlock in the Albert Bartlett and cites Tom Scu saying that he’d find it hard to get off Red Sherlock (for Kings Palace) if they did go to the Potato Race. They won’t go there though as they don’t want to take KP on. Also puts up Rathvinden each way.
BP: Red Sherlock. Royal Boy is not quite good enough.
JP: Red Sherlock.
AH: Red Sherlock, has a huge engine, plenty of speed.

RSA
CL: Smad Place and O’Faolains Boy each way, very highly regarded by Rebecca Curtis.
BP: Smad Place is made for Robert Thornton.
JP: Smad Place has found some speed/zip from somewhere this season.
AH: Ballycasey won’t stay, goes with Morning Assembly. Likes Sam Winner and Le Bec of home team.

Champion Chase
CL: Doesn’t know. Not Sire De Grugy though.
BP: Simonsig was 30lb below best in the Arkle, makes Baily Green look better than he is. Barry Geraghty likes Captain Conan’s chances, BP thinks he is just a good work horse and falls asleep in his races.
JP: Baily Green is a price.
AH: Keen on Hinterland especially each way NRNB.

Coral Cup:
CL: Magnifique Etoile is badly handicapped, will have a better chance at Aintree.
AH: Clondaw Kaempfer has a good chance according to Donald McCain.

Fred Winter
BP: Trains Raven’s Tower, will travel, will stay, might not be able to quicken with them. Good mention for Pearl Castle.
AH: Owns a bit of Rutherglen, now handicapped out of the Fred Winter, sporting chance in Triumph.
Very positive mentions for Sea Beat, Powder Hound, and Spaceship here. Baradari is supposedly best chance of the week for Venetia.

Bumper:
AH likes Kilultagh Vic very much, very impressed with his speed lto to destroy Golantilla. Ruby Walsh rides apparently.

Cross County:
BP: Quantitativeeasing will have been schooled to the minute for this. He was always a very good one for them and wanted to run in the National but couldn’t due to not having won a 3m chase. Was always best when creeping round. Has a lot of ability, will definitely stay and will be hard to beat.

JLT:
CL: Oscar Whisky.
BP: Oscar Whisky, very bullish on his chances.
AH: Felix Yonger good ground form is best in the race, Sizing Gold on decent ground has a good chance. May be a year too soon for Vukovar.

Ryanair
CL: Dynaste is an autumn horse, likes Al Ferof.
BP: First Leiutenant, spring horse.
AH: Dynaste or Benefficient.

World Hurdle
CL: Nicholls definitely wanted Big Buck’s to win last time out, would have had him ready, and as such thinks BB is on the wane. Goes for Annie Power.
BP: Likes At Fishers Cross who has been given the Binocular treatment of returning from Ireland a different animal.
JP: Big Buck’s.
AH: Big Buck’s not as good now. Rule The World posted good speed figure last time out and Dunguib franked form.

Triumph:
CL: Calipto looks good, Le Rocher need soft ground.
JP: Likes Broughton. Calipto might find it a year too soon.
AH: Has a part of Rutherglen, decent e/w and Pricewised now. Not sure if quite good enough but Maguire booked and has been for a long time. Calipto ran the last circuit on Betfair Hurdle day quicker than Splash Of Ginge did in the Betfair Hurdle.

Albert Bartlett
CL: Briar Hill each way banker, went to say the word “banker” and cut himself off. One of the best Irish horses. Urban Hymn each way.
BP: Doesn’t like Kings Palace. David Bass rode Captain Cutter in work recently, is in the form of his life.
JP: Briar Hill screaming out for 3 miles, Ruby said we’ll see a “savage” performance when he goes 3m.
AH: Likes Kings Palace on speed figures, Champagne West at a bigger price.

Gold Cup
CL: Between the top two in the market.
BP: Last Instalment. Good ground is a positive for Bobs Worth, who might drift close to the off due to not being much of a looker.
JP: Bobs Worth. JP has been doing plenty of aftertiming, my notes read.

Other comments
JP: Keep an eye on Tom Bellamy’s ride in the handicaps for the Pipes.
BP: Ericht is hard to get right but keep an eye in running if travelling okay.

Charity Bets:
CL: Briar Hill, O’Faolains Boy
BP: Red Sherlock, Smad Place
JP: Bobs Worth, Montbazon.
AH: Vibrato Valtat, Imperial Cup. Red Sherlock and Kilultagh Vic.

Very enjoyable evening.

great write up thanks joist.

many thanks - it's awesome you guys post up these write ups and I read every word - more than once sometimes.

Well done Joist....great write up. None of them fancy Faugheen for the Neptune!

john parrot ffs ... What would this compulsive gambler know about the festival ?

Why's John Parrot part of any preview evening man??ipod time when he speaks.stick to snooker ffs

Big John Parrot is as entitled to be there as anyone. If he can't tip, he will fit in well. The nights are supposed to be a bit of fun.

Hi Willie
Sad stuff especially with it being for charity!
Ian is a great lad, has to be one of the best value for the punters at our night.

one on here tommoz ,p.nicholls. d.macain couch chappers ,gary o brian live stream at 7pm

Just like at your night, he went out on a limb last year tipping Bobs Worth and he has  tipped Our Conor this year.
Great bloke.

Ah right well fook it let's have Phil the power Taylor and Roy Keane on some panels as well then...

To be fair to John Parrot - I went in with the same attitude as some of the above, the "wtf does John Parrott know". He actually came across as reasonably knowledgeable and put a few good comments into the mixer.

Roy Keane has allegedly said that he thinks Big Bucks will get fooked and if anyone wants to argue then meet him outside

The Power would spend the whole evening name dropping, would claim to be Arkle's closest mucker and Best Mate's best mate.

Anyone know when the betfair preview night is on live?

Tonight?

7.30pm go to betfair site

Link is on front page of new site but I cannot see it on old site. As @Ballydoylel says, 7.30pm.

http://www.livestream.com/betfair_tv?lskey=bannerClicked

7.30

abbot - just back from middle east, can't login over there of course, and see there is inspection at ayr on Friday morning, if the racing is ON then I'll also make the preview night but no problem to pay the 15 on the night, hope to be there!

went to the beverley preview last night.     
panel with nap   
 
gareth topham, corrin wood, rsa   
sean quinn, bobs worth, gold cup 
darren owen, indian castle, kim muir   
malcom tomlinson, meister eckhart, coral cup   
brian ellison, holywell, which ever  race runs in.       
 
sean quinn said he preferred rutherglen over pearl castle in the truimph hurdle.   
   
ap mccoy been booked for cockney sparrow in the mares hurdle.   
 
majority of the panel went for our conor,sire de grugy, annie power and bobs worth in the championship races.

cheers Gordon, hope to see you then.

Nice we piece in today's Record from Gary (Tayls) re our own preview night at the Standers.
Cheers Ian

Ganleys - Morden
Johnson very sweet on Fingal Bay

Fingal bay surely bounces?

Bounces over the line

Alex Hammond was keen on Fingal Bay at the Leeds preview.  Can safely rule it out now.

I'm keen on Alex Hammond

I think Bally we will have to put a hood or blinds on you.

Or geld him!

She also tipped Many Clouds for the 3m Festival Chase after the 5 day decs were out!!!

couch recons that this years champion chase is so bad they have seen money for the ambulance each way

At least the ambulance will be there unlike Many Clouds.

Class from the couch...also said the giant bolster has more headgear than Hannibel Lecter!

Abbot - thanks for a good night, certainly more interesting than some of the online versions I've seen and a few of the pundits didn't hold back which always makes it more fun too.  Sure you or someone else will post a fuller review in time but the apparent stable confidence behind Djzakadam and Brier Hill has resulted in bolstering my position on those two and also the negativity surrounding almost everything in the QM has led me to further investments in Hinterland.  Thought David Pipe and Gordon Elliott interviewed very well and Brian Hughes insight on the jockeys perspectives was also worthwhile.  Cheers and hope it was a financial success on the night and for the next few days too - can't wait!
