    Why oh why do they keep staging GP’s at rubbish tracks?.I cannot remember the last time I saw a decent GP meeting. They are dire most of the time.

    Teterow was appallingly bad last year as well and Prague was not much better. Appreciate Prague is there for the city experience but can they not improve the track ? A little banking and some more dirt. 

    Dan Bewley on twitter "Watching Teterow back, every time the track started to come good they watered it and made it back around the curb. Heat 20 the best it looked all night and they flooded it for the semis. Don’t understand that decision...." 

    He may want to ask Phil Morris that question but in general that race track is woefully poor for a racing spectacle. Hopefully Gorzow gives us some decent racing and that way the gate positions won't be as critical - Last year R6 B5 W0 Y9 - Semi/Final B2 Y1

    Decent meeting tonight. Was very impressed with Musielak tonight and the ht 13 was race of the meeting. On current form was expecting Tigers to run the Witches a little closer but Bellego and Howarth looked well below par. As for Ipswich can see Thompson being replaced and King looked far more on the pace considering his recent form.

    He did at Lynn.  Not Peterborough as far as I know.

    From his Chapman's press release 23rd May ...... 

    “All of the financial and team matters at King’s Lynn are taken on by Alex Brady and Dale Allitt, although obviously I still have responsibility for the stadium.I do still own the club, it hasn’t been sold yet, but the funding is not coming from me this year."

    “At Peterborough everyone knows the problems we have faced, and it was me who did the deal with Nicki Pedersen to race at No.1, which unfortunately went wrong after one race. Since then we’ve been looking for a replacement, and trying to book the best guests we can under the circumstances."

    For Prague that wasn’t too bad, decent racing with a few overtakes.

    For Woffy that was awful, just doesn’t look quick enough, Bewley and Lambert are both better.

     

    For Prague agreed not too bad - started off well then got slicker as meeting went on. Bewley decent meeting just a caught in wrong place in semi and possibly made right move but wrong time ... but looked quick. Little disappointed with Lambert had hoped for more at 28/1. Vaculik saved my day betting wise at 10/1. Woffy just didn't look quick enough which doesnt bode well for next week.

    I went Holder vs Laguta - Holder was +5 on the handicap also went Lewi Kerr to outscore Jorgensen. Can't say I faired so well with my Ipswich bets - had King -4 to beat Becker but no such luck thought Becker at Ipswich with three meetings in quick succession may struggle a little but he scored enough to make bet a loss.

    Kerr's interview on BSN, paraphrased: "I just used the same set-up as always.  Make the gate and away you go ..."

    I imagine Lewi Kerr was grinning under that lid tonight paid maximum vs the Stars. As for Laguta give him time sure he will be dominant on the bigger tracks Monmore Green may come as a bit if a shock. The rest of the squad looks paper thin though.

    The excuse for being thrown out of Monmore is pathetic.Leo Walker a director at Entain,says greyhound welfare is the sole reason why speedway can longer be tolerated.   Saying to many dogs are getting injured because of the material throw on to the greyhound racing circuit from the bikes . Strange this has only just surfaced when speedway has gone side by side with the dogs for decades.Think this is a lame excuse and a deliberate lie in wanting Wolves out of the way so they can stage further meetings with more profit from online betting in the UK and South East Asia .

    As Martin Dugard stated a one purpose stadium is far easier to obtain planning permission for. Alternatively greyhounds doesn't need a crowd just the ability to stream racing to Asia to allow betting to take place. Just a cover up on Entain's part.

    Really wish the reformed Comets all the best in the future. Looks like a great little set-up. Reminds me of a track I saw in Norway years ago. Hope that it is a successful future for the Comets. 

    In a perfect situation something like this in the Eastbourne area would be great but I wonder if green-belt and cost of land would obviously be an issue in the South of England or relatively close to towns / cities like Peterborough or Swindon

    A lot of rusty riders in Croatia.

    Understandable in the rain , Gorican is pretty much a one line track at the best of the times. With a downpour and no outside line even more so tonight - Warsaw next up then the racetrack that is Prague - or the Borefest as it is known unless you have indulged in Czech Premium Lager. Can't see Zagar changing his terms to dramatically perhaps they will choose to go (G) all season.
