SCB Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Good grief,people moaning about the lack of passing at Leicester. watching the brummies v lakeside on bet365..not seen 1 pass yet after 7 heats. most races strung out like a row of beans It wasn't great but in heat 3 Kennett went from 1st to last. There was also a fair chance of passing in a few heats. It's not all about passing but the belief there will be a pass, something that was unlikely on Saturdays Leicester meeting as riders were so spread out. Do agree though, it was a poor meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 It wasn't great but in heat 3 Kennett went from 1st to last. 1st to last? Doesn't he realize yet that it works best the other way around? Actually what you've written about the 'belief there will be a pass' pretty much sums up Eddie as he always looks as if he's going to belt round the outside of someone but somehow never does. Still the thought is there in our minds so it's exciting to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Watt is pretty similar - but he did make a couple of passes last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? at leicester we spend our time counting them it's only by gods grace that there aren't that many that we get to actually see the meeting.

BWitcher Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 And people wonder why the sports struggling ! Ah so poor racing is a new invention is it?

New Science Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I do seem to remember Tatum shouting 'super speedway' a fair few timesThat's half the problem,Kelvin says "super speedway" a couple of times,the other guy shouts a bit and people think they have seen a classic.Since the awesome Poole/Coventry in 2010 only meeting that stands out as a classic on TV was Bydgoszcz SGP 2013. Slim pickings in the last 3 years on Sky ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
