Batchelor looked like a novice at times he did'nt seem able to get round bends 3 and 4 and then he slowed up looking for Heeps to pass him but Heeps slowed up like he did'nt want to,very strange goings on there.
Some terrific racing at the AFA tonight track looked good but then it should be as Buster got all his toys out and done about 12 laps, would have finished about 20 minutes earlier otherwise.
Loved the one off world finals at the Empire stadium never missed one from the late sixties onwards and got home about 1 o,clock sunday morning now it's about 3 o,clock and a long drive from Cardiff.
Agree with all you have said, I have also read ''Tragedy'' and now understand more of what could have made him do what he did although i am not condoning his actions. Saw him ride many times at different tracks and he was simply brilliant.
Nothing against Scotty Nicholls but i believe the rule regarding guest riders is that you can't guest at a track if you have ridden there within 8 days prior or are going to ride there within 8 days after. Scotty was there Thursday riding for his club Peterboro.
