Cue Ball 416 Posted September 21, 2021 On the changed track prep - Scotty Nichols commented that the riders had asked for it to be prepared differently, but it hadn’t turned out how they expected. Much is being made of the track surface etc, but it seems the simple fact is that Sheffield rocked up in a fighting mood, with their gating gloves on, and won the meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without doubt, the surface was changed and Sheffield rode it better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because they needed to ensure they had the points in the bag before starting the average manipuation. Lose at Sheffield, something unforseen happens in the home match, such as an injury, and top spot could have been endangered. As it is now take a 46-44 home win (more manipulation) and come out it smelling of roses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
