Can’t blame a rider having a go, all racers, bad luck

Basically, he was on for a safe third when he seemed to get a tad close to the rider in front of him. It unsettled him, and down he went.

He was pushing for second place and lost control when a 4-2 would have won the meeting and tie. Should have just sat in third.    Have to say I loved the tactics in ht13 not pushing for the 5-1 that would have triggered a Glasgow tac sub. Very smart 

Yes it looks that way, he could come good but it doesnt look promising. We seem to have signed him on the basis of one outstanding meeting, it seems obvious to keep Kyle Newman who has been very good.

What happened? Was it a mechanical issue or a lack of concentration? Or something else?

Back in the day, Howarth would have been a marked man. Someone would have put him through, and rightly so. Someone like Martin Goodwin was a hard rider, but fair and like other hard riders back then, could give it, but also take it. Howarth must think he's a bit of a hardman. After watching his performance with Pickering, I would suggest otherwise 😂
