But a good performance to put in after a home defeat, would have been easy for their heads to drop but they didn't do that. However this team isn't built to carry a HL, so good job the Cook boys and Drew covered for him a bit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our problems are obvious, King isn't riding well but seemed to perform better later in the meeting but he should be getting double figures every meeting and Ablitt isn't up to this level.

His confidence surely can’t be so fragile that a fall, albeit fairly nasty, sets him back like it has. Nothing to do with that 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ablitt gated, Allen went around the outside but Coles was beautifully blocked by Ablitt and lost control, lifting and coming off. But for Bens chain coming off we would have got the 3-3 and at least a draw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric i 617 Posted June 17, 2022 Bet Poole are kicking themselves they didn't use a tac sub probably would have won that. Why was there no grading or watering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted June 17, 2022 Ablitt did a good job gating when Bens chain had come off. Could stop Allen coming around but blocked Cole’s which led to his fall. Downside was Ben was not under power so ended up with two riders only meaning a 3-2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However this team isn't built to carry a HL, so good job the Cook boys and Drew covered for him a bit! Poole will secure a top two position. They will not lose at home again and looking at their remaining away fixtures I think that a point in any of those meetings would be considered a disappointment. This all assumes that Danny King continues to deliver sub standard scores. The Pirates will be able to deal with this scenario. The crunch will be the play offs when a team built top heavy will need to have its top three delivering their averages home and away against the better teams in the league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could have done a TS in H6 but Douglas out so maybe not. Also H7 but we got a 5-1 anyway so wouldn't have done any better. I think they were waiting for H9.

Because the track was well prepared prior to the meeting so it didn’t need it, meaning the meeting was done in 1hr and 20 minutes including a few re runs ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
