Cerro 190 Posted August 20, 2021 I've lost count the amount of times Edinburgh have salvaged points/won meetings in heat 15 this season. Doing it when it matters, cap doffed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eide67 199 Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Well done to Kent on an excellent performance tonight. They really should've had at least 3 points. 10 heat winners in a row from heat 4 to heat 13 is unprecedented for an away team at Armadale. After a poor night the home side showed some grit and determination over the last 3 heats to grab an unlikely draw. Kye Thomson has been a major success this season, but he's been creeping/rolling at the start for a good few weeks now. He needs to cut that out - he's shown he doesn't need to do it to win races. William Lawson really only contributed one third place ahead of Ben Morley in 4 races. The track wasn't great tonight - obviously prepared for potential rain - but there was still several good races. Scotty Nicholls pass on Sam Masters in Heat 6 was sublime. Great to see Cameron Heeps back to form. He always rode Armadale well. And good to see Luke Crang pick up his first Championship points.

Having only just beaten this Edinburgh team at Central Park by just 3 points, I had expected to go down by anything up to 10 points. A Draw was not in my imagination. So Well Done Kings. Wish I could have been there to see it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Endeavour 681 Posted August 20, 2021 Love to watch Scotty Nicholls at the Dale. Hope he is okay after his fall in heat 15. Controversial exclusion for Josh when he fell and remounted didn’t help the cause but a spirited heat 14 and 15 saw us salvage a point. Missed Richie big time. Good travelling support and great fans to talk to. Nice to see some Glasgow and Sheffield fans too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best keep Rothery on a 1* for 2022, than use him & up his grade to 2*! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course he has also scored less than paid 9 this year and many of his good scores coincide with him being in heat 15. Paid 12 sounds so much better. But of course monarchs got a 5-1 in heat 15 so the score wouldn't have changed unless Richie failed to beat the Kings riders which would have resulted in an unfortunate loss.

Mr Blobby 2,661 Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Not sure how we drew that in the end but I’ll take it. Conditions weren’t fantastic for passing unless your name was Scott nicholls. Was a touch on the slick side but with the weather in the area you can’t blame them for preparing it like that. We just couldn’t get off the start tonight at all. couple of harsh exclusions for josh also, first one ref was far too quick in putting the lights on as josh had jumped back up and on the bike with a second of falling. Second maybe not as bad but majority of the time you’d see all 4 back in those situations. Great to see a massive turn out from the kings fans, hopefully see yous all again soon. Created a good atmosphere and hope yous enjoyed your night. Edited August 21, 2021 by Mr Blobby 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
