I seem to remember Becker scoring really well in the A fixture, he seems to be different to most Americans in that he rides big tracks well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Becker 15+1 and Nicol 1. Perhaps surprisingly Becker is pretty good on the bigger tracks. Maybe he's in the mould of Sam Ermolenko (not saying he going to be that good) where he can ride any track.

The last time I can remember Schlein at Peterborough he was trying to get the match abandoned because he couldn't ride the track... he succeeded! I'd prefer R/R again I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Finding it very hard to concentrate at work. Worried I might get some digits the wrong way round in Excel. Tonight is a huge meeting, winning would get us top spot IMO, Wolves would capitulate under the pressure. We need to treat every heat like it is heat 15.

Stiltonpanther 338 Posted August 23, 2021 Should be a good meeting. Providing that Danny rides well then Iwill go for a 49-41 win for the Panthers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are currently 7 points behind Wolves (1 match in hand) so you won't be going top tonight. You also have to ride the B match at Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted August 23, 2021 Winning tonight would lead to a Wolves capitulation. That would lead to us finishing top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
