I don't think such a change to revert to your own double-up riders due to the other fixture being cancelled on match day is permitted, once their replacement guest have been declared on match day. Can you provided details of the precedent you refer to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Swindon has been dry and sunny with a decent breeze since about 11am so racing should be ok providing what rain we had early this morning drained away ok which it should have done.

Yes but those rides will be against Zach or one of our top 5, who I'm sure can live with him. He didn't score well at Somerset last night.

No I can't but I am sure I remember riders switching meetings after a rain off in the past but it could be different because guests are involved and it could be deemed unfair on them.

He didn't bother riding but he did enjoy a free carvery meal in the Peter Craven Suite while watching his team mates lose. How good are the carvery meals at Swindon? Bet he was cut up about that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 According to the forecast Ipswich should go ahead so you will have to make do with Kurtz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 I,m not saying the Cook situation is right but a similar thing happened at Workington last week Dan Bewley riding in Poland, r/r facility used, then on Sunday two riders riding in Poland no facility granted but luckily it was rained off. This Saturday Dan Bewley missing again riding for Britain against Denmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 The Cook situation tonight really highlights everything wrong with the way our sport is run. Never in a million years would the general public believe that a second division club can have priority over a top league club. Cook has only been riding in the second division for 5 mins, yet BV has to use a guest, and you wonder why the sport is looked upon so badly... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
