Belle Vue V Lakeside Mon 6th July


Recommended Posts

I'm surprised this meetings tomorrow but no thread for it esp after Belle Vue's win against Poole last week.

 

Belle Vue are at full strength. Let's hope Zagar can ride like he did in the SGP as was very impressive.

 

Davey Watt guests in place of Kim Nilsson and Paul Starke in place of Ashley Birks. Starke rode well when he guested for the bees a couple of weeks ago.

3rd week on the trot of Starke riding at Belle Vue, he wasn't quite as good last week for Poole as he was for Coventry.

 

Watt rode very well for Poole last week but was at second string, he will find it tougher at heatleader.

 

Looks like rain coming in at 9.00pm so let's hope sky get on with it and it's not another heat 10 debacle.

A lot of you underestimating Lakeside they have been poor this year but they are our bogey team at Belle Vue, always do well. Strengthened at reserve with Starke in and Watt doesn't weaken them much.

Sky's choice of matches has been particularly lamentable this year, apart from obvious choices like King's Lynn v Poole. I do wonder who is the person who decides.

 

Wednesday's even worse with Peterborough heading for Berwick with half the team missing because they're Danes who have their own league to race in on that day of the week. That should have been forseen and the match changed.

A few weeks ago this looked like a very solid choice, as both sides looked to be battling it out for the final PO spot along with Swindon.

Over the last few weeks, Belle Vue have cemented their place as the likely 4th place side, which leaves us with a number of 'dead-rubber' meetings towards the end of the season.

Lakeside are very good (usually!) at Belle Vue, so this may be closer than expected, especially as the weather looks like it could be a leveller

I think Starke for Birks makes Hammers stronger and Watty for Nilsson is neither a loss or a gain, on paper Hammers look like a team that should be able to go to a small track and be competitive but the age old problem of being poor travelers seems to continually haunt us, at this point i have no idea on how many Aces will win by but they will certainly win and more than likely by more than 8, as a neutral best we can hope for is Hammers gate and the entertainment is provided by Zager and Co working their way through.

Lakeside have put in some good performances at Kirky Lane. They went through a bad patch but have recently done much better.Starke's is becoming a regular visitor and will do better than Birks and Watt had had a lot of good performances at Belle Vue so also makes them stronger.

 

I still see an Aces win but perhaps not see easy as some may think. Let's hope the rain doesn't cause too many problems.

Looking at riders posts on Twitter, I think its fair to say if the meeting goes ahead its going to be wet.

What do you mean if? It has to be called off 48hours in advance otherwise it has to go ahead regardless of the weather. Weren't they the rules?

Its off.

 

Having reviewed the condition of the track the referee has taken the decision to postpone tonight's meeting. Re-staging date to be announced

So what's different about this meeting?

why were Belle Vue able to call it off a couple of hours before the meeting when the GSI statement says it has to be 48hours before which was the reason why Coventry were not allowed to call it off on the 1st June even though it had been terrible all day
