Baldyman 6,243 Posted August 23, 2018 Well done panthers....don't think the witches like a slick track. Is Bacon the most improved rider in the league? Very impressive. Well done coty, shame the manager didn't see fit for you to have 7 rides....totally baffling. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super Blue 616 Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Total garbage! Should have booked 2 guests, RR pretty damned unproductive tonight. OK just checked and it got 7pts but Rory would have got more than that. Nobody could gate. Why do we repeatedly set up the track to suit the opposition. Slick was never going to suit the Witches tonight. And when we actually get into a position where we could possibly (unlikely but maybe) get something from the meeting does a total knob head go for a gap that simply wasn't there! And guess what rerun was won by Tom Bacon. Thank heavens I also follow Mildenhall, at least I tend to come away from there with a smile on my face.

He's young and is only going to get better with more experience. First name on the Panthers team sheet for next season. He could become a Number 1 by the end of next season, mark my words.

JamesB 107 Posted August 23, 2018 That was pretty much as I expected. Credit to Garcia for his best performance so far, Newman was on par and Kemp will only get better. Based on the season so far I always thought it unlikely that Covatti, Heeps and Riss would all perform to the top of their game on the same night and so it proved. Covatti was a particular disappointment. I know he is popular with most but I've always thought he is too inconsistent. Both him and Heeps miss the gate three times out of four and so the track needs to be set up to suit their round the boards efforts. If it isn't then there isn't a great deal of point in having them in the team. I thought Bacon was very good and the lad seems to be developing very well.

89buttons 761 Posted August 23, 2018 As someone said in an earlier post I just can’t see how you can replace schlein and king with Newman and R/R and expect to win a meeting! great effort from drew he was on the pace all night - encouraging debut! Coty was good value Heeps poor and improved to average in a couple of races but honestly don’t think he’ll be back in the UK next year, can’t see him being back at Ipswich and really not sure who he’d appeal to on his average covatti poor although a couple of good races later on - too little too late riss did his job - can’t expect him to always be banging in big points Newman woeful season over. tom Bacon superb - have to see he’s improved year on year fantastic tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
