In this case we would have 2 chances to use Danyon then and haven't. If we don’t then use him as part of the R/R facility in these circumstances then you have to question if there is a point to the whole situation at all.... You mean this from the rulebook.... The declared Rising Stars in positions 7 & 8 are permitted to alternate, at the Team Managers discretion, meeting by meeting, provided the opposing team are given a minimum of three days notice. However Hume could guest for another team member if needed through injury but not a horses for courses change.....

Lefty 1,268 Posted April 24, 2022 Yet another new rule book change that does absolutely nothing to please existing spectators or likely to get any new customers through the turnstiles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is currently not riding for Landshut in the Polish League because of severe pain from a previous injury. Peter Kildemand is now back riding in Poland so surely the plan is he comes back in for Iversen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also see he had yet another pile up in his meeting today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, in true Kildemand fashion after riding well all meeting and helping his side to a comfortable away victory, he absolutely binned it in the nominated races trying to chase down Jamrog in 1st, instead of just settling for 2nd. Quite a heavy impact too. He’ll never change! Edited April 24, 2022 by Najjer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been proved time and again, Hawkins and Lemon went to the same lack of tactical awareness classes. Although to be fair, is Basso available and/or wanting to ride?
