Well he isn’t a “reserve” is he let’s get that right. He started as a reserve because of a crafty bit of shenanigans by Lynn. Who’d have thunk it!!

Foxhall is nothing like Monmore.

It’s hit and miss, can be bone dry one side of the road and soaked the other. But as Taps says, I’ve been in town centre and the drains have been overflowing! Guinness is going down very well though

We had the same forecast down here in Suffolk for yesterday, scattered thundery showers some heavy. We never had a single drop here in Ipswich but I know others a bit further afield did. Same is forecast for today but they’re so hit and miss they’re impossible to call. If you get caught in one, it seems it would completely wash the track away! But you MIGHT be lucky and escape them completely, or you could encounter a quick flood. 50/50..

As frustrating as it is, I think you’ll have to be patient just a little while longer. A quality rider maybe available from June.

That isn’t true.

We see this so often from Doyley at Foxhall now that when he misses the gate you just expect it to happen! An old cliche, but he really is worth the admission on his own.

The forecast has indeed changed, as often happens. When you postpone meetings more than 24 hours in advance you always run the risk of that happening. The first band of rain that was due to hit lunchtime isn’t now predicted, but rain IS still set for late evening so they may yet be proven correct, not that it really matters now. The forecast yesterday morning did look dreadful to be fair.

Riss isn’t completely ruled out according to that preview, although his participation is classed as “slim”. Agree with you on the weather though, doesn’t look good at all.

I’d have thought it would be more tricky for Laguta than Emil. Wasn’t part of the acceptance for Emil that he’d been living in Poland for a number of years and had Polish citizenship for a number of years? Can the same be said of Laguta? I’ve no idea to be honest. I know he also has Polish citizenship now as well (I think) but don’t know if the length of time he’s had that would be a factor. Would be awesome if it happened though, we have Leicester in a few weeks at Foxhall! What a meeting that would be..

He is indeed.

Howarth a decent guest for Riss by the way, paid 10 there last week for Sheffield so we can’t have any complaints there. King also goes well there and Doyle and Emil will do Doyle and Emil stuff so you’re not looking at asking too much from Hume to win the meeting.

Goes to show how much of a miss Jack Thomas has been to us. Think he’d have close if not top of that list.

Howarth in for Erik Riss Badge, R/R for Rew so Howarth and three for Hume (will be a busy boy) can take his rides. Hawkins again saying no change with Riss and it’s still a waiting game, surely they’ve GOT to make that change now? When you’re then missing another rider like Rew on Thursday, it throws up all sorts of problems. Be decisive and make the change! Again they’ve held off the preview as long as they can as they’ve heard nothing from Lynn so although Klindt is listed, he’s likely missing same as Rew and no news on a guest for Pickering

You’re right, baffling decisions those two.

He’s capable of that at Foxhall though so it’s not uncommon. Beat two of Sheffield’ top 5 last week and beat Bewely the week before.

To be fair the big clubs usually get the decisions same as the footie

Makes the decision to sign for Peterborough all the more bizarre. Was never going to be committed on our tracks was he really? Don’t think his first bend spill had much to do with it at all.

I personally hope so, but for it to be him I think it would have to be a contract til the end of the season. Really don’t think he’d be interested in setting up here just for a month.

Yeah I did see that RJ. But surely there has to be an option out there to get someone in as a 28 day replacement that would pay higher dividends than the three points R/R has been achieving? I get that they really like Riss and they’re giving him every opportunity, but as we can’t have a guest for him, a short term 28 day replacement helps us in the short term whilst also keeping Riss’ place for him when he’s fit and ready to return. Perhaps the options aren’t great.

It’s a tough listen isn’t it. He seems to be getting worse unfortunately.
