Yarrunga Field

Spot on the Taitster! I've been talking to my mate up there and he's told me supposedly off the record, sorry, don't know what that means, that many gp riders were approaced, 2 or 3 (I'll not name) verbally said they would come, and pulled out about 4-5 days ago, just before their names were going "live" so to speak. The other major fly in the ointment this weekend were the Continental GP challenges that were not arranged when Berwick chose the 23rd, but later put in, this again has taken nearly 15 potential starters away from the list of possibles for tonight. The riders were asked.... dozens of the top guys, most said no, a few said yes then let Berwick down, and others were whipped away on GP challenge business. Under the circumstances it's not a bad effort really. YF
