Rider replacement for Joe Haines at 2. We can give rides to Ricky Wells, Andre and the reserves. No disrespect to Joe but me might get a couple more points on the board with r/r.

 

I will be happy with 40 points tonight.

I'll be AMAZED with 40 points tonight, but then I have a habit of getting things wrong on here lately. :drink:

I would expect the two guests (Tully & Branford) to score more than the than those they are replacing (Stead & Koppe), and r/r for Haines should also provide a better return. Also Wells performed well at the Scottish Open last Friday.

 

Recently, Monarchs have not been that impressive at home, so I would not be surprised if this turns out to be a close contest at sunny Armadale.

No-one at Armadale tonight could suggest that the horrific accident was in any way caused by silencers, track surface or whatever. Two riders lock together coming out of the start, a throttle can't be turned off and they actually accelerate, still conjoined, head-on into the fence. Could have happened in 1933, 1963, 1983 or last night.

I think such discussions are for another day mick, just now the main concern must be for the riders. It appears from Monarchs facebook that Robert has arm/shoulder/back pain, Claus sore head, both riders being checked over in hospital. Hopefully we'll hear better news tomorrow, thoughts and best wishes to both riders for now.
