One of the other benefits is if you fancy one of the main players and watch online one of the bigger ones they normally include a feature were certain horses can be had at slightly bigger odds for a limited time with the connected bookie.

Not amazing value but I managed to scalp a couple of winners this way last year.

One pundit to listen to is Mark Winstanley.
Not everyone likes Couch but he's always honest and has a tremendous knowledge of the game, he is one of the best judges I know...

[Faugheen_Machine]

I like him Ista. Not always politically correct but I think he's good fun and is worth listening to.

Yep - not being politically correct a plus in my book

Yeah I remember Min and Thistlecrack being just 2 during the Betfair night whose price got boosted for 30 minutes or so

I've never actually been to one, and I don't think they'll have any in the north west? And I'm not sure anyone I know would want to go .... but watching them online and reading through the transcripts line by line on here had become part of my ritual haha

Kev i went to haydock last year and really enjoyed it.

I will be there again mate.

I'd love to go over and make a weekend of the Final Furlong one, but getting about is a hassle for me, and I don't want to punish my liver too badly before Cheltenham week

Not much of a chance I dont think but does anybody know of one in or around Nottingham? Would live to try one out but can't travel too far

[Old Vic]

Good line up at Cheltenham FC - that will put it up to those running Centaur event.

[Istabraq]

It's a private one OV, run by the syndicate Lets Live Racing.
Used to be at the Royal Oak, Prestbury, moved to the football ground a couple of years ago, limit of around 200 I guess.
Mark Ball (heads up the syndicate) won't be competing with any other preview, I thought the Centaur evening was on the Sunday, has this just changed ?
