I wouldnt listen to the shark 99% the time he opens his mouth but he is well connected to the Mullins yard and has previously worked for them used to put the money on for Willie so worth listening to him on the yard.

Are you going this year?

message to catherine power and the waterford commmittee.

catherine, you mention that you have raised over 90,000 for local charities from past preview nights.

i was at bennettsbridge point to point yesterday and there were a few people selling tickets for a former tramore trainer pat flavin. the gist of the story i heard is that he met with a very bad accident, and he is virtually paralysed and he had little or no insurance cover. the folk selling the 10 euro tickets were genuine racing people trying to help a sad case.

i would recommend you alert your committee to the cause of pat flavin and consider donating a large proportion of any profits you realise to his cause, as after all, if a racing related event cannot generate a few needed bob for someone in trouble within racing then who will.

Pat suffered a freak accident, a one in a million type accident and unfortunately his life has been turned upside down since it happened. I'm delighted there was an effort made yesterday - I was meant to go to that P2P, but I couldn't make it. I think there should be a collection on Thursday night in the Woodland's and Brian Gleason should be called on to give back the money he's taking for his appearance on Thursday night. It is for charity afterall.

Is that Brian Gleeson who worked on rte racing and owns horses? If he's getting a fee for that preview night in aid of charity he ought to be ashamed of himself.

I was a this last night, have pages of notes but in college at the moment so wont have write up till later. Twas a very god night, lots of banter between Patick Mullin and Shark, only negative was because the weights weren't out ofr the handicaps not much info was given on them, overall tough an enjoyable night.

Yeah that's him. Ive heard off a few of the organisational panel that his fee last year was €3000. Disgraceful.

Charlie George

preview night in Chawkes bar in Adare this fri. evening,Ted walsh,A McNamara and a few more guests,with finger food for e5 which goes to charity,a bit better value i think than the one in Dunraven Arms for e32 with meal.

Catherine Power

Nevis....thank you for that information. I wasn't aware of the situation regarding Pat and I will certainly bring it to the attention of the committee.

Motivator I really don't know where you're getting your information from. There's only three of us involved in organising the Waterford preview night. You certainly didn't speak to me and the other two members don't recall speaking to you either!!!!!!

We will put the question to you now so. Did Brian charge that money for his appearance?

UrbanSea

Tell him if his fee is that much not to bother, that any punter would be more than happy in not having him there if that's what he's charging for a charity gig.

And please don't tell us Nesbitt is being paid.

Agreed. I think its terrible that these scurrilous rumours are being entertained.Its unfair to both Brian Gleeson and the event in question.

I think some people loose sight of the fact that this event has raised over 90k for charity and is being run by people who could be spending their free time doing something alot less constructive.

Goodluck Catherine, I hope your event raises loads of cash.

Catherine has had opportunity to clarify the rumour. I'm sure she will clarify in the near future.

I know if I was an organiser I would extinguish the rumour straight away given the chance. But agreed its a great event and I hope they look into Pat Flavins situation. He's a gent.

Catherine Power

You're absolutely correct that a preview like this couldn't afford anything remotely like the figure that has been mentioned but just to clarify Brian Gleeson doesn't get paid a cent for his appearance.

The Woodlands preview was his idea back in 2007 to raise money for the Pere Charles disaster.

and he has been wholeheartedly behind every preview night since and has not been paid anything for any of them.

I hope that clarifies the situation and I do not understand how people can pull crazy figures out of the air
and post them as fact when they are so far wide of the mark it's not even funny.

Thanks SudoSan for your good wishes.

The tickets are selling very well and we expect another great night on Thursday.

Nicky Henderson think Riverside Theatre is back!!!! But thinks Cue Card
is hard



Edit:it seems to be short....I'll see where the rest is.

Warwick

Warwick Preview


Supreme
Andrew Tinkler ( AT): MTOY is right race in the Supreme rather than the
Champion Hurdle River Maigue better than he showed at Ascot and an EW
alternative Tom Symonds (TS) : Spinter Sacre, Binocular and Darlan all
beaten for Henderson/McCoy so 6/4 about MTOY is short enough. Melodic
Rendezvous is his pick at the prices.
Stuart Machin: (SM): Agrees with TS that Melodic Rendezvous looks like
value. Grade 1 winner etc.

Arkle
AT: Thinks Simonsig is better than Sprinker Sacre J but not sure he
would back at odds on against he race Overturn. Confirmed Captain Conan
will run in the Jewson.
TS: Race is between Simonsig and Overturn.
SM: Fancies Simonsig and would take the 5/6.

Champion Hurdle
AT: Grandouet is fine but Binocular is flying. Schooled really well
during the week and forgotten horse in the race.
TS: Tough call but Zarakandar would be his pick
SM: Rock on Ruby has good course form and would be his pick.

NEPTUNE
AT: The New One - a machine
TS: Taquin Du Seuil ...Pont Alexandre not tested in the conditions. Wind
in races where he had easy leads/small fields/ heavy ground
SM: The New One ahead of Taquin Du Seuil. Pont Alexandre's price
lessabout form and more that wille mullins saying that he is best novice
he has trained apart from the Fly.
The chair R hart ? said AP will ride Taquin Du Seuil abd word from yard
was that he worked brilliantly and would improve for drying ground.

RSA CHASE

TS: Dynaste not likely to be strongest stayer and would oppose. Keen on
Hadrian's Approach.
SM: Boston Bob is his pick . Dynaste is too short/flashy for RSA.
AT: Dynaste to win but Hadrian's Approach is each-way value


CHAMPION CHASE

AT: Sprinter Sacre.
TS: Sprinter Sacre. Cue Card second if he runs.
SM: Sprinter Sacre . Cue Card's connections or Sommersby without the
favourite.

RYANAIR CHASE

AT: Barrys ride on Riverside Theatre was ride of season last year and
has had ulcer problem dealt with since King George. Champion Court main
danger.
TS: Sizing Europe if he goes here ..has the class. Champion Court seems
to finds one too good Chair said Albertas Run will run here first time
out.

WORLD HURDLE

AT: Not sure Oscar Whisky will fully stay 3m and BG will need to be at
his best. Reve De Sivola will make it a test kicking earlier than the
cleeve.
TS: Oscar Whisky stays 3m but he is not as well as over shorter trips.
Reve De Sivola has form in the book and is his pick. Monksland hardle
good enough Peddlers X not same horse since 2011 Champion Hurdle.
SM: Smad Place at 20/1 ? OW is about the same price this year as last
and no Big Buck's so if you think he stays then he is probably worth a
bet in a weaker race.
The man with news from Johnjos said no on Get Me Out Of Here running
yet. Reminded audience that GMOOH has been second at the last three
Festivals.

TRIUMPH HURDLE

AT: Far West this year but Rolling Star will be better horse in long
term
TS: Our Conor appears to be the one to beat. Farwest best of British.
SM: At the minute Far West but would like to see Adonis

ALBERT BARTLETT NOVICES' HURDLE

SM out up African Gold at 16/1 ew. AT likes Henderson mate Utopie des
mordes

GOLD CUP

AT: Bobs Worth saves it all for the racecourse and will stay up the
hill. Reported that Nico de Bonville had said Long Run took 2 wks more
to recover from the King George than in previous years.
TS: Sire Des Champs. Bobs Worth main opposition.
SM: Likes Silviniaco Conti and is his bet of the meeting. The Giant
Bolster ew.

Fair enough, I must have been given false information so. All I'll say is that the rumours were all the rage in the bar after last years event. But I hold my hands up, thanks for clearing it up.

Best of luck tomorrow night, unfortunately I can't make it due to work but I have bought 2 tickets for my parents who go every year. I hope it's a great success like previous years & lots of money is raised again.

good luck with your night catherine.

Regardless of where in the wide world you are, you can watch and participate in the Official Cheltenham Preview evening on Sunday 10th March. The whole thing is being streamed LIVE from Cheltenham on http://cheltenham.olbg.com/ from 7pm. You can also interact by tweeting a question to a panelist to have it answered during the evening. This is a Cheltenham Festival first! (but hopefully not last)

Catherine Power

Thanks for all the good wishes

Really looking forward to tomorrow night

Will let you know how its goes

pugw

So call it, which of the previews is best to go to. Have never been to one before but I presume its best to go to one of the later ones as near to the festival as possible so that jockeys will have a notion which races the horses are going to go for. The pannel for the one in the westmanstown centre looks good!
