If it’s 80% I’ll give you the money for your entry fee, if it’s less you give me my entry fee. Deal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aces51 2,778 Posted December 7, 2018 Watching both the Aces and the Colts at the NSS I have seen brilliant racing in meetings involving them both. However, the overall quality of racing is undoubtedly better in the PL meetings. Generally, there are more good races involving more passing and closer racing, which is what I would expect because of the higher skill levels of the riders. However, having said that, the entertainment served up in the NL meetings is good and arguably better value for money at half the price of the PL meetings. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m presuming the bonus for you and your fellow Belle Vue supporters when watching the Colts is the prospect of some of them coming through to the senior side.

That's part of it but it is the enjoyment of watching any inexperienced rider progress, whether a Colt or not. Watching Dan Bewley's development since his first competitive meeting has given me more pleasure than any Aces win or recent achievement and one of my best memories of last season was watching Drew Kemp showing the progress he had made since 2017. Other riders are progressing at a more steady rate but that can be just as interesting to watch. It's also enjoyable just to see the enthusiasm of riders at that level. The way they just want to get out and race, even when conditions are such that riders in the higher leagues would be showing their reluctance to get on with the meeting. To me the PL offers more in terms of skill and ability and overall I get more from watching the sport at that level but the NL is also a must for me for the reasons I have given. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
