I agree with King being moved from 5, and Batchelor is the only option - I don't think a King/Batchelor pairing at 3&4 would work any better than Barker/King. King has escaped scrutiny so far, but has an inconsistent record in Heat 13 (and 15). A poor performance at Plymouth last night too, where he has normally ridden well.

Agree King hasn’t had the best of starts. Had his best year for a long time last year and was as consistent as I’ve ever seen him, both home and away. Hope he doesn’t undo all that good work this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) I think last year will be Danny's best ever season. It was a very very good one,, and I can't see him having another one as good. He won't have a bad one,, as he never has those either. Not sure how old Danny is now,, but I think it's closer to 40 than it is 30. I can see him beating zagar a Fricke tomorrow with reasonable ease Edited May 4, 2022 by Baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
