Najjer

Paired with Bellego twice, Holder and one of the reserves. He then meets Aspgren twice, Lambert twice, Bewley and Zengota too. Cover the handicap and can’t see how he scores 10 IMO. If Smektala rides like he does away from home in Poland then Kurtz over him looks a good shout Lejonen -20 VS a poor Piraterna side

And again today in Sweden - under 9 looks decent at 6/5

Mateusz Tonder - whilst he might struggle at Wolves and Ipswich, he would be superb around the Showground that’s for sure.

Seems to be over rated regularly as I’ve backed him 3 times for unders in Poland too!

Becker +1 over Cook Palm Toft over 8 Kerr over Andersen

Probably should add that this is meant to be down to overnight rain.

Bjerre -3 over MJJ looking like the bet of the day for me

Is Protasiewicz riding?

Bet365 have points and rider match ups

Gusts over 9

That’s what I’m on too!

2 out of 4 for me - should just gone with the two handicaps which was my initial thoughts before adding others!

Vastervik handicap Ljung +1 over Gusts Lindback under 8 Smederna handicap

Any news on Aspgren?

Admittedly I think Czesztochowa would of still won fairly convincing anyway but Grudziadz are severely weakened by losing Pedersen - not to mention, they lost Tarasenko preseason too who was set for a big season I think. Was only Ostrow who were weak and then made the decision to release Klindt who is flying at the moment.

Krakowiak under 6 for me Bit late now for here but winners for me on both heat 8 and overall handicap for Lublin

What is the point in that? So it’s a pairs meeting but it’s actually teams of 3? And it’s not actually the ‘best pairs’ either. All makes sense.

Presumably Krakowiak will move to number 1 or 5 today replacing the injured Pedersen, unless a junior comes in leaving him at 8

Hansen under 9 Is the other one I’m looking at

Can’t see it myself. I’ve backed Bydgoszcz -12 as they look so strong. I have however backed Miedzinski under 11 Bydgoszcz with far superior juniors too.

I’m on Zmarzlik under also - to score 14 on a temp track is a huge ask, regardless of what an absolute machine Zmarzlik is. Im also on Drabik over 6 as I fancy him to make the semis tonight. A few other tempters in Doyle over 6 and Bewley under 7.

But you will then end up with riders with on inflated averages when they could of genuinely had 4 bad meeting and replaced with higher ones. This once again leads to more watering down of the product by naturally forcing everybody’s average higher. I don’t believe that’s a good idea and I don’t believe that average manipulation come the end of the season is actually that much of an issue - especially in todays market where there is a shortage of riders. I don’t think 10 meetings is a bad thing either as that represents half a season - however it should include any conbo of 4H/6A, 6H/4A or 5H/5A to prevent lop sided averages.

Dropping their 4 lowest scores will end up in inflated averages

Not according to from what I was led to believe - Jorgensen was blocked (not by the Poles) as it would exceed his allocation of teams allowed by promotors in GB, as they had counted the two leagues over here. Wasn’t there a similar case for Riss having to drop a foreign side to sign for Redcar because he was already riding for Ipswich?

Said it loads of times - but 6 rider teams with a British junior at no.6 is the minimum requirement of what the Championship should be. Less riders to find, cheaper British rider and the existing riders getting more rides and earning more whilst the need for guests and R/R drops down. Guests shouldn’t be allowed unless there is 2 or more riders missing. Even more money to be wasn’t for riders. Everybody wins!
