There more the one rider out there if you were really desperate to sign a replacement
Do you really think Kennett was interested in doing a season,just asking as there were a lot of rumours circulating at the the time and circumstances regarding his work situation.
Flint rides Armadale as well as 90% of away riders IMO.Perhaps if you had signed a replacement No1 you would have nothing to moan about.It’s not although Kennett was ever coming back .IMO.You have done well out of his guesting slots over the season.
I think the point has often been made just enjoy the racing and the night out.Results are not important.Unfortunately this format will not attract new support and keep them in this day and age.
