Totally right they are all good Pete and good luck to all of them luck plays a huge part to but that Colts team will entertain everywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnTwo 317 Posted December 25, 2019 Flint is better than bickley, palin will be better than flint, Bailey could be better than all of them - that’s the way I see it. Flint if he can crack a small track like Armadale then that will heighten him as a rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted January 26, 2020 I have just been on the Aces topic & it is said that there will be a price increase in 2020, £1 for Aces & £2 for Colts. This is mainly to cut the losses of the Colts meetings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on, with positive encouragement & good luck who knows what they might achieve. Only a short time ago the Aussies had 3 excellent talents & all 3 sons of good riders: Alex Davies, Taylor Poole & Dakota North. Great talent alone is no guarantee of future success a lot of other factors come into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) In 2019 we had both Jordan and Connor who started on a 3 point average and achieved great progress between them. I hope Harry McGuirk can blossom this year as the young newcomer Paul Bowen should put his average up reasonably... in the latter part of his first season he was showing good signs of upping his game Both Bens should also progress.... it is a promising team which will be good to watch Edited January 27, 2020 by Gunner85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also looks a big year ahead for the Ben's with Woodhull sliding down last year and i fear his interest is waning whilst i think Rathbone will be a much bigger improver this year having visited several tracks last year although a shortened season may hurt those with only one seam place. The Colts should be rock solid at home again this year so it will be how well they travel deciding how well the fare at the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I quite liked the lad and thought he was doing fine at Redcar but they certainly did not shaft him. If you have a tantrum and a fall out with the management , expect concequences, but I do hope to see the lad get a chance somewhere. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought after one meeting he asked to step down from the team then subsequently changed his mind but by this time it was too late Redcar had already found someone to replace him. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acef 795 Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Jack comes off as a bit of an idiot tbh. He’s had his fair share of run ins and even fell out with Bickley on the track last season. When situations occur on a fairly regular basis and you end up with no team, then there is generally something wrong aside from just bad luck. I think he needs to sit down, look at his mentality and then go again. Edited March 10, 2020 by acef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
