ouch 1,191 Posted March 21 Aces were sharp out of the gate in the two fixtures last season so I’m hopeful they can keep it going to get the win. Tbh I’d be happy with a loss if we get more than 1 race per meeting as was the case last year. You’ll think me daft but I’d rather see an Aces loss after a rip roaring meeting than a gate ‘n’ go win. Hope all stay safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aries 440 Posted March 21 Doyle comfortably the best home rider in the league as the stats show. Rarely beaten at Foxhall. Belle Vue will sniff an opportunity here 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4BM 116 Posted March 21 Belle Vue fallen lucky with no Doyle for Ipswich (no disrespect to Scott Nicholls) for their visit to Foxhall, they can’t be as bad as their last visit there, can see this now being very close with a 2 point win for Belle Vue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesB 107 Posted March 21 I think it now comes down to the respective engine rooms; King, Rew and Ellis v Lidsey, Cook and Blodorn. Witches with maybe a slight edge at reserve and the Aces with a slight edge at 1 & 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So selfish - congrats to them anyway! hopefully Scott will be an adequate replacement he often scores very well when guesting to whilst not at Doyle’s level should be enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dickie Head 247 Posted March 21 I thought riders had to have had at least one official team meeting in the season to be entitled to a guest or R/R. Mr Doyle hasn’t. Please clarify for me. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,821 Posted March 21 The Aces should be favourites to win now the Witches are much weaker, no disrespect to Scott. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted March 21 Kind of relying on Bewley to have his usual Foxhall stinker. If he doesn’t we’re in a spot of bother Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please clarify for me. Thanks. You are correct, not that it matters. 010.5 FACILITIES No facility is permitted to replace a rider, who although included in a re- declaration has not made an appearance for that team since being re- declared.

Please clarify for me. Thanks. I'm sure Nicholls will be 75% below Doyle's average, so qualifies under the "no facility rule" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
