I would disagree.  Meetings like testimonials, or even the BenFund are like that for riders, yes.

But meetings like Sheffield's opener, the Belle Vue thing this Saturday and yes, the Bordernapolis are earners -- and no professional, self-employed rider is going to go out and mess about if it means he's passing up good money.

Seven races at Berwick will mean up to something like £1K for the big scorers.     You can blow off a lot of cobwebs with a grand!

That Belle Vue thing is the Peter Craven Memorial meeting, and if its true that a rider can make upwards of £1000 on Saturday then its just plain crazy. The club brought this meeting forward to be the first meeting to give the riders some competitive practice and let them get up to speed before the league racing starts.

Over the last few days spring has very much sprung in Berwick, and the forecast for tomorrow looks promising to.

It's not £17 if you're a season ticket holder

I thought if you accepted a booking for a meeting you couldn't race elsewhere?

If he had accepted to ride at berwick belle vue should have known that and should not have asked him to ride, i think he should be at berwick or banned from belle vue

Maybe he can afford to turn his back on seven rides and up to £1000, and would rather be at Belle Vue.

That was my understanding of the rule , I'm sure hat Berwick can register a  complaint and get him banned if they want to

Good first meeting, for an individual. Track was nice and smooth, with a bit of dirt round the banking after a few races. Inside line got used to good effect on the third / fourth bends early on. Some impressive rides by Doolan, Spud, Leon and Coty at different times in the meeting. Theo Pijper surely won't take long to get a team spot somewhere. Jye did really well to stay on after his coming together with Nico Covatti, looked destined for the safety fence. 

Likes the new system with the season pass, no queueing, straight in. Meeting went at a decent pace. Only down side was the injury to Danny Ayres.

It's good to be back.

Save your pennies up and maybe you'll have enough for next season
