Dark Horse

Have to say that was a good meeting, fair amount of good racing there, was actually surprised about MJJ all the hype and he was struggling, have to say one of the heats of the afternoon was ht 14 with Dennis and Darcy, think every Poole fan was hoping they would try to force each other off, a very bad crash in ht 6, hope Gustafsson is alright and the Ukrainian(or russian) Loktaev, as i thought Gustafsson could have been a spoiler. Joe Haines was the best of the Brits a pluky heat 8 ride and finished the afternoon with a good win over a fast chasing Vaculik. Shamek i dunno what he was doing when he fell, took him ages to get off the track and when he did he went down like he was shot from Close range. Have to say that Zmarzlik whilst at times out of control, looks like he can develop into a decent rider, but was wrongly excluded in ht 16, last lap he came clean under Dudek(who impressed me) didnt shove him wide and didnt touch him, dudek went down and Zmarzlik was excluded. However the 3 in the run off where the 3 better riders on show, bar Piotr Pawlicki, but its one more step towards a historic 3rd world u21 championship and 3rd consectutive year running for Darcy Ward

Looks like the Buccs had to redeclare again, as Scunny wouldnt allow them to use ritchie Worral, so the signed Nick Laurence(who is unavailable this sunday) so now using Worral again, also using rr for james sarjent who crashed in the top gun meeting at sheffield thursday, hopes to be back for the playoffs. On a side note, any buccs fans that went to the poole/bournemouth double header earlier in the season or any dudley fans, can u still get in whilst the first meeting is underway? i dont finish work till 2.30 so will miss the first 15 odd minutes of first meeting

Looks like the Buccs maybe in a spot of trouble, unless they get a good guest to replace Jerran Hart, who had a very nasty crash at Redcar last night

This one was a good meeting, after 4 heats i thought that the Heathens would just crumble, but fair play to them, they battled and got a point they probably deserved. James Sarjent looks a decent prospect, battled all the way(headed Barry Evans in both stagings of ht 4) he is only 15 isnt he? and good to see Mark Baseby score well tonight, still miffed at the changes going from a balanced 1-5 to a strong top 4 and a weak rider at number 2(Aarron has been struggling even at reserve), but the management must know what they are doing. Also nice to see soo many Dudley fans make the trip down, very vocal lot they were tonight

James Brundle the new number 1 for the Buccs, confirmed on the bournemouth website

damn at least i didnt lose too many points on leigh adams, but still it a marathon not a sprint

Congrats Brendan, you deserve it heres to your first maximum in poole colours in your first home meeting

wayhey, wasnt a major lost, but now i wish i made that bet earlier and i probably could have been number 1, only got the speedway star on friday b4 i went to work and since i was working i hadnt a chance to make a bet, but im still number 2

i just now wonder where i would have been if andersen made the final, but thanks aj

thank god and thank you jarek, wonder where i would have been if crumpy made the final

ever progressing towards the top and well done jonsson and crump

thank you antonio and hans

Chris holder Cameron Woodward

i feel poole may get it, on basis of 2 years ago, but knowing the fim, they may use cardiff for the final

well at least there are 3 brits in with a chance, would have loved it to be kennet, but finishing behind wright in his ride may have sealed him as a reserve. but hey as long as there are a couple of brits, i will be cheering them on.
