I have just had a scan through the archives & BWD has a Championship average from 2018 BUT rode in the Premiership in 2019 so that will be his most recent average to be used, which was 5.47. This, converted by 1.5 for Championship racing gives 8.21. we only have 7.73 in total to play with. With him being a New Zealander, I am not sure if he is entitled to a reduction even though he rode in the NDL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric i 604 Posted March 21, 2021 Does BWD get a reduction for being out injured since 13 june 2019. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewy 2,290 Posted March 21, 2021 I,m sure if bwd is available and willing to ride for scunthorpe that the powers to be will come up with a scenario for his average to fit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petecc 351 Posted March 21, 2021 BWD Was British when he wanted to ride in the NL. I'm sure he could be again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just hope they don't announce him before they announce the new rules. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know what qualifies a rider for a reduction, he was injured last year because he pulled out before Covid kicked off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expect there will be a new 10% reduction rule added for New Zealander’s to encourage more of them to ride in Britain for this season to make him fit though, don’t panic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
