Don't think the track was rubbish either. Certainly there were a few ding dongs battles quite late in the meeting. And Cookie had at least 2 very quick times, though you have to be quick to see them on the Sky screen!! 56.15 in heat 4 or 5 and a 56.2something in an earlier one. Given the TR is apparently 56.08 set in 2007 and this season's fastest was 56.44 by young Kurtz only last Friday then the track can't have been that bad. Certainly heat 13 was one to remember for a long time.

I think it's much more useful than just the basic averages since the harder rides have extra value. I would like to see the table extended beyond just the top 10.

And should Ippo not be +2?

You know they've taken the word gullible out of the dictionary?

Have to say Greenwood was pants too. And kurtz was pretty mince.

Was up to Somerset to put up a fight.

Thought you were good at bets George? You'll probably get 20/1 for that. Worth a tenner or your money. Are there TR's in the league cup? (apart from Cookie being super quick obviously.) Sorry I meant 200/1.

But the great thing was.... no fallers. (Though young kurtz had a fair try - both at trying to wipe out Super Agent and then himself.)

And the other half?

Every dog has his day. Glad we brightened up your miserable lives.

Need to get rid of mellgren, boxall, aspegren, bowen, maassen.

Yep - I acknowledged that a while ago. Does depend on him being available for the next 3 matches though otherwise he might be a bit tight for the PO quarter finals. And assumes he doesn't score too highly.

That's 3 fantastic 4 pointers I have watched in the past 4 days when I only hoped for a couple of points. Good time to be a Smug.

But the commentary team spout so much cr*p every week I might just take that with a pinch of salt. They sounded so bitter tonight. Even switched the mic off rather than let us hear Smiler! Good max from him tonight though.

You reckon.

Can only beat what's in front of you. Well not if you're Somerset. "who's your rider to watch kelvin? Got to be Brady kurtz Nige. " Err that went well... 0,2,2,1,1. Gets his average down a bit I suppose. So who will Gary May be bringing in?

Dancers Erik I love you.

Who was the dirty Somerset rider again? Have to say the commentary is very Somerset biased though - they seem gutted their chosen team is not winning.

As long as doesn't do it the wrong way round tonight!

Yep that's our weakness.

56.15 now for cookie!

I'm sure I saw that come up on the screen.

56.2 was it not?

That was quick! Go the monarchs!

It was a gater's paradise that night - and we didn't. I hate to say I had my first visit back to Armadale in a long time that night. The disappointment remains large.
