Buster gave up after riders rejected his efforts a few years back. He sorted track after a downpour and riders took one look and said no thanks. Me and lot of others waited in vain. I think at that point Buster said never again. Riders didn’t even try.
Surprised Kent continue with these Sunday 12 noon starts. Surely too early in summer heat and when some fans will have a long journey. 5pm would allow heat of day to subside and give more time for track prep.
Good point. As is often the case, this news has dribbled out in a column in the Star. Fair play to Dick for his scoop. Thanks for uncovering this secret. However, surely such a huge change was worthy of a BSPL statement.
