George Rothery's average reverting to 3.00 rather than 6.50 and him moving back to reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus im not sure that his 12 from 6 removed would be enough to see him drop back down to a 3.00 so riding order wouldn't change? Plus side is that if all scores apply the his 0 from 4 at Newcastle will help bring it down when the next set comes out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't have an average as removing Newcastle meetings means he has only had 3 meetings. Established averages are given after 4 meetings. I suspect it will not change - just another rule that the SCB will not enforce. Personally think Mr Vatcher is too interested in the Youth setup to get involved in keeping to the rules Edited June 18, 2021 by edmon 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,624 Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Averages were not amended in 2018 following Rye House's closure, so I would assume it will be the same this time round.That will be tough on Rothery to be lumbered with a 6.5 pt average.

KIRKYLANE 534 Posted June 19, 2021 Considering the colts lost Ben W in the first race, a good result ge thing 1 league point. does not help when meetings are spread out... but inevitable considering the number of teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially the ones like Davies who have a new home track and don’t even get the luxury of being at reserve and heat 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully find somewhere a bit closer to home and maybe at reserve. With Newcastle dropping out and with them having a couple of young promising prospects available it’s an opportunity not to be missed imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
