Track prep is vital imo.....the owners were dropped in it last season with Terry? giving up after a couple of meetings? It's not an easy job and looking back, we did the best we could with what was available. A new track curator is a must, especially with Harris/Garrity our main men!

Crabba59 156 Posted November 15, 2019 But they did say he gave up for health reasons, so not really dropping them in it as you say..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you'll be right in the road works and diversion area when the flyover is demolished and the new road alignment is constructed. Plenty of time to come up with a Plan B if that area is shut off from the public. I use the bus stop there, and am resigned to having to walk an extra mile to the other side of the roadworks, in order to catch a bus that's fought its way through the delays and snarl-ups rather than getting on a bus that's got all the road works ahead of it. The point is, how things were, won't be how they will be. Might be wise to have a few alternatives planned and ready to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiveusaB 1,105 Posted November 17, 2019 Harris Garrity Morris Shanes Thomsen Paco = 36.04 (I think?) I'd take Stoneman on 3.27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leicester Hunter 381 Posted November 17, 2019 2 hours ago, GiveusaB said: Harris Garrity Morris Shanes Thomsen Paco = 36.04 (I think?) 35.63. Good shout there with at least three club assets. The last rider I'd be looking at would be Jonas Jeppesen on an assessed 5.20 CMA. Unlucky to get booted out at Somerset due to the infamous numbers game and got injured in his second match for Ipswich. That's of course allowing for the possibility that Somerset wouldn't recall him. Anyway, with that team named above, there's 5.37 left. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 849 Posted November 19, 2019 If Harris, Garrity, Ellis, Hume, Shanes, Morris & Perry are all subject to 2.5% Brit reduction that would work. Pretty sure S Worrall instead of Ellis also works. As does Thomsen instead of either reserve. If Morris or Shanes are not fit then Castagna is decent back up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
