Agree totally.......back in the day it was part and parcel of the 'suspense' at the start ! (bluufing/anticipating, other riders etc....) It also made for some better races, especially when the favourite missed the gate!

Correct! and thanks GA for responding on my behalf.....nothing to do with not having any 'balls' as you put it...'hobbit' !? However, I acted like a moron in the first place which I'm not proud of and my comments were 'gutless' and I'm extremely embarrassed by them. I've also apologised to Laurence Rogers, for my criticism this season.... I've got swept up in passion and emotion and I intend to control it far better from now on! I've received a 'permanent ban' (brummies forum) which I understand and accept with grace! ( I won't try and re-invent myself under a different banner) As you can probably see....I even deleted my BSF account.....but then, I had no way of apologising....so I re-instated it!? p.s Just worked out who you might be 'HOBBIT' ??? if You're Bilbo on the Brummies Forum, then I publicly apologise to you too and 'JJ' ......along with GA. I certainly don't expect anyone to acknowledge/accept my apology...but please know that it's genuine and most sincere!

Can anyone explain the use of Ethan Spiller ? is he a track specialist or something ?

Now I know what it feels like to be a Cradley fan !?
