Davy is a great at the preview night, very funny and not scared to stick his neck out.

Hayley O'Connor of Ladbrokes

I would pay the admission to be in the same room as Hayley :P

mdwexford · 19-01-2012 6:12pm

Same people every year is getting boring.

Ruby, Nicholls, Geraghty, Henderson, Mullins or Hobbs would be nice.

Catherine Power · 20-01-2012 4:36pm

Hayley o' Connor is new , Jessica Harrington is new, Jim mcgrath is new and
Tom Segal only joined the panel last year.

John Francome and Davy Russell are hugely popular and are there every year because that's what the 700 or so that attend every year say they want!!!!:o

Hayley will be eye candy only. She'll offer nothing more than what someone else has written down from her. That's all she could do at one in Leopardstown last year.

Francome is well worth listening to. He was all over Long Run and Junior last year. Jessie is as honest as the day is long so would be worth listening to. Davy is popular as he spouts an unmerciful amount of rubbish to entertain the crowd. If he told me the sky was blue I'd find myself having to look up to double check.

Id rather see people who have some meaningful runners or rides myself like the people I mentioned.

Segal's been there twice I think but hes the one I like hearing from the most.

Yeah I understand the masses are entertained by Francome and Russell so you have to keep getting them back.

I was at the waterford preview last year and got three winners from Davy Russell.

he was adamant Hurricane Fly would win the champion hurdle, so adamant he promised he'd wear a waterford jersey at this year's preview if HF didn't win.

He also gave Cheltenian to win the bumper, no hesitation when asked he simpy said that Cheltenian would win the bumper. I backed him at 14/1 and had a nice pay day on wednesday. Definitely wouldn't have gone for that on my own. He also gave First Lieutenant...
Anyone who goes to preview nights expecting to get 20 winners if off their head but if you listen carefully you might get a couple at a nice price that you wouldn't have backed yourself.......and it's a good night out, for charity!!!!

hucklebuck · 20-01-2012 10:02pm

Davy was at the Westmanstown night last year and I thought he was brilliant, great fun and gave a few winners.

rebelabu · 21-01-2012 8:58pm

Anyone have any info on any preview nights in Cork or Limerick this year?

RichieLawlor · 21-01-2012 9:16pm

Thank god no Justin Carthy in waterford this year, guy makes me hate life

Catherine Power · 26-01-2012 11:54am

Ladbrokes in as sponsors this year in waterford....hence Hayley O'Connor in instead of Justin Carthy.

Nice to see females represented on panel in Waterford this year.
will be interesting to hear what Jessica Harrington has to say.

MassDeb8r · 03-02-2012 10:59am

Hayley is some woman

they should have a female-only night somewhere, Tanya Stevenson could host, I'd buy that for a dollar

Hayley, Jessie Harrington, Venetia Williams, Nina and Katie, along with Tanya! Would be something different at least

Catherine Power · 06-02-2012 9:36pm

Maybe you could throw in Henrietta Knight while you were at it or would she not fit the profile!!!!!

Plenty of room for the Hen

Catherine Power · 06-02-2012 10:08pm

We could get Tanya s to be MC . She wouldn't have to put up with that big oaf calling her female all the time. ( What a horrible person Mc C is :mad:)

Where would be find the female equivalent of John Francome though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
