Wont the Witches just cover the missing BPs for our own riders though? They wont be the only ones officially or otherwise. Im sure the pay cap will be just as religiously adhered to.

A win is a win however it comes. This is the type of meeting we would have lost last year. A few of the boys looked a bit sluggish and the lack of track time seemed to show. Good to see them out afterwards getting in a few laps. Superb team riding from Ben made all the difference today along with an inspired Cam. Not the time for critisism of any individual at this stage imo. Adams heat 2 win was a glimpse of his potential - nice style smooth and quick. Heres to many more.

3 times today and twice it worked and that was the the Witches won today. Well done Ben.

Bring your snow boots!

Perhaps its all hands to the pumps to try to ensure the best possible show. Given the weather of the last couple of days Id say there is not doubt its on. Just needs lots of layers and plenty of hot refreshment and hopefully some hot racing.

Nice new rod you have there!

8.25 am and the sun is out with the temp at a balmy 34.

Presumably the real threat is a deep frost overnight. Fingers crossed.

Genuine question and not just to wind things up - is r/r an option when the rider hasnt ridden? Would it need a 'special dispensation' ? I believe it would and should be granted (if needed)

I picked mine up from local Sainsburys where there will usually be 3 or 4 on the shelf but this week there was 20 and they have now all gone. Had I have missed out I would have picked 1 up at Foxhall on Good Friday.

I bunked school the one and only time that day to see his first match.

Well done Jarek (my tip for champ) Can we still claim this as a Witches 1- 2? Not a Pedersen fan but you have to respect a performance where he looked like a rolling roadblock at times but still finishes on the rostrum.

Now it starts to feel like the season is here! Still 8 days to wait for us Witches to see home action but at least now there something to fill the time other than Batchelargate!

Shouldnt this post be in the general discussions 'guilty pleasures' thread? (apologies in advance TWK - I couldnt resist the easy joke!)

A comfotable Witches win for me - 53-39ish. That said you never know with a season opener!

What a bummer! Theres always next week! Good luck.

How did it go?Did you have a constructive 'meeting' with the Robins management?

If it means another subscription with BT then I wont be paying up and will just have to miss out.

I give up - which one?!!!!

A victim of his rolling average perhaps. Averaged under 5 on his return(understandably) yet has 5.99 against his name. It is constantly said the key is to find improvers and whilst Tay is more than capable he is at this point it seems seen as a risk. And yes he is a Boro asset.

Horses are very versatile nowadays!!

Well done to your new promotion securing Scotty for your opening night. Forward thinking and real promotion for the event. A refreshing change.

Tend to agree although plenty of deals were already agreed before the change was announced.
