I've scanned back through his scores this season and you're right he would have vastly outscored Lambert. I wasn't at the Berwick meeting last month at Ashfield to see him but if he'd scored likewise for Redcar we would have been toast.

FFS! However Redcar smartly gated and hugged the inside line for the first 7/8 heats building a decent lead whilst Glasgow outside Flint and Harris could barely ride it. Frustrating we did this again with the same outcome of needing big finishes in the last 4 heats to rescue the meeting, as exciting as it was. We can't do this against Poole next week, we need everything to go our way and even then it may not be enough.

Glasgow had to drop Dan Thompson and spread the points across two 5.00 middle orders riders which hasn't worked.

Glasgow helped you out massively by preparing a ridiculously deep track to try and unsettle Redcar, only for it to have the opposite effect. When the track came good after ht10 so did Glasgow. I don't see Jenkins making any material difference to the scoreline had he been there.

Got it, fair enough.

Comes across as slightly bitter Jan. Usually appreciate your dry wit too.

They could also spend a serious amount of money adapting the track, laying drainage etc then be given notice.

I've said that for 5 years now to the point of absolute frustration. However I'm convinced it will continue as this regardless.

He could have to build his confidence however already being on a 4.00 that would likely have pushed his average up a bit. As it is I don't think we'll see him at Glasgow next season. He missed a few meetings riding elsewhere, never got any momentum going at home and represents poor value on a 4.00.

The track had a bit about it last night. There was enough dirt down to chase and the inside and outside lines were working meaning there was passing right to the last heat. When you get the correct ingredients for the right riders the product can be good. It is a choice though. Last night was superb but largely an outlier in many seasons of unspectacular meetings on a slick surface. Perhaps we could do it again in future when GLA visit if racing as good as this is the result.

If we could also swap Reid for Freddy next season that would be smashing. Over and out.

Sincere thanks again to Michele in ht14. We couldn't have come back from behind in either meeting without him.

Thats true but he looks like a quick learner. Actually its Armadale, any points are a bonus.
