And all the information constantly updated on Social Media, probably one of the best out there for a small one man band kinda thing. Nothing stupid about it at all, Cook fell in his second ride and withdrew, I think it’s reasonable to expect an update as to the latest position on his injury and whether he rides or a replacement. Workington has an official website, it would be a good idea to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catch Me If You Can 260 Posted March 31 Terrific racing on a very good track Win for Berwick basically confirmed by Kerr Schlein 5-1 in heat 13 after loads track grading which maybe suited Bandits ! 4-2 in Heat 15 cemented it Berwick look a much smarter outfit 2024 Plenty of plus points for comets especially from two new lads in top five Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither were going to challenge Hodder and Celine had a good second ride to beat Borke. Wait until they come up against similar standard reserves? Hmm… one of Berwick’s reserves hasn’t ridden at this level before same as Sam and the other had a handful of meetings and comes in on the same average as your other reserve so don’t really understand that comment… although they need a few more meetings than two but if they carry on in that vein then it places a lot of pressure on the top 5 which is a risk as some of them are going to tracks for the first time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta agree with these replies, Sam & Freddie are both 6+ NL riders, so no reason why Sam shouldn't be able to beat Freddie. If you think Celina wasn't going to challenge Freddie, then I'd question the wisdom of signing a 4.00 foreigner who isn't expected to beat a 2.00 Brit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also hoping Batch can up his average. I believe Claus is a year older than both riders and Bomber 5 years older. It's whether they still love to win.
