Winditon 233 Posted July 12, 2019 Hope we can turn the deficit around from tonight. Garcia turned out to be a very poor guest. Not sure what was available but no doubt Lasse would have scored more than 1. I think Garcia score well when at Edinburgh with Berwick so maybe that was in the management's thinking. Don't even get me started about Phillips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure when we named him, but I was just referring to guests in general. Anyhow, at least there's one less person we need to ask when we need a hand,,, every cloud and that Must say tho, was surprised that Coty got 5 rides.

After in first ride R/R a lucky point then 2 coconuts for me should have been replaced by Max. Max would have still have enough rides left. After all he only had 6 last night. I thought we may have kept it to 6 or 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't suppose it helped that Max was paired with Coty in ht12, which may have meant putting Max up against Wells and Pav in ht10, maybe too much of an ask to try and gain an advantage there. Nevermind, a cup final is up for grabs t'morro and Starkey usually gives it a decent go at Brough. Edited July 13, 2019 by ruffdiamond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max should of been in heat 7 with Wethers as would of at least got a 2-4 probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get what your saying, but that would've meant dropping the guest after his first 'scheduled' ride. Then you've still got to get him out again for 2 rides, thats if he's not in a huff Edited July 13, 2019 by ruffdiamond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Worrall coming into 8 it was good chance of 1-5 if Clegg came in and least Wethers would still of been in 14. You make a good point which makes George's choices even more baffling as Ostergaard could of taken a ride! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
