I'd be interested in a real answer to this as well. Genuinely interested in what the issue is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolute howler leaving Worrall in heat 12 when we had Woryna winning races for fun. Couldn’t believe that, as Somerset gain a point. Another big big crowd here today. Poole always in control of the meeting though Kurtz was extremely poor and Worrall so slow, the same as last week. The rest of the Poole team were OK though Klindts through the tapes then a last was poor. Star of the show was Kasper Woyna who only dropped on point to the opposition. Did I say he should have had an extra ride? For Poole. Brady was poor. 5 points from a number one? Josh battled well. Klindt started poorly but improved. Worrall was poor. Did I say he was slow? Harris threw away a point in his first but was solid. Woryna was excellent. Jakobsen was pretty good. For Somerset. Doyle looked unbeatable until heat 15 when outgated by Woyna. He then stopped. Looked like he had knackered himself. Summers had one good ride. Covatti wasn’t very good bar one ride. Holder was poor. Arnio did a good job. N B Jakobsen impressed before running out of steam. Three points to take us back to the top but we are far better than this and to gift Somerset a point was poor. Just seen heat 15 on Twitter. Doyley hit that hole between turns 1 and 2 again. He hardly just stopped for no reason! All that cash Ford has spent on the track and it's still there. Must be the same people sorting that out that are building Tottenham's new ground! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobber junior 30 Posted August 27, 2018 Just viewed heat 15 as well and very glad didn't bother ..... Mid day / early afternoon meetings have never been great imho (and experience). Track looked like chalk and cheese compared to Wednesday ..... albeit have to say racing was pretty boring then until the thorough track grading @ interval post heat 10.

Regardless hope he is ok as he was certainly going flat out all afternoon. As far as Richie is concerned, he needs to stop looking for excuses, he has been woefully under powered for most meetings with just the odd race where he seems to get it right. After the amount of rain we had yesterday it is a wonder that they managed to get the track back in some sort of order at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not forgetting Holder having a mare A full strength Somerset would have won this by 6-10 points and i imagine would love to face Poole in the play offs. Worrall is the worry for Poole as he drops to reserve and Woryna unlikely to carry his form to the main body leave Poole very vulnerable, as Poole have been winning matches because of their reserves and that can easily change when the riders swop over You talk some nonsense.... the Somerset reserves probably scored more than the riders they replaced would of going by their last performances. As for Holders mare - what about Kurtzs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lawson got 8 the last two times he rode there and r/r got 3 Kurtz has been poor all season and he actually outscored his last score!

You try preparing a track for a mid morning meeting after a days heavy rain... 12:30 Mid morning are you sure about that? If 12:30 is mid morning then what time is 7:30PM in your world? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
