Not sure when we named him, but I was just referring to guests in general. Anyhow, at least there's one less person we need to ask when we need a hand,,, every cloud and that Must say tho, was surprised that Coty got 5 rides.

After in first ride R/R a lucky point then 2 coconuts for me should have been replaced by Max. Max would have still have enough rides left. After all he only had 6 last night. I thought we may have kept it to 6 or 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't suppose it helped that Max was paired with Coty in ht12, which may have meant putting Max up against Wells and Pav in ht10, maybe too much of an ask to try and gain an advantage there. Nevermind, a cup final is up for grabs t'morro and Starkey usually gives it a decent go at Brough.

I get what your saying, but that would've meant dropping the guest after his first 'scheduled' ride. Then you've still got to get him out again for 2 rides, thats if he's not in a huff Edited July 13, 2019 by ruffdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Worrall coming into 8 it was good chance of 1-5 if Clegg came in and least Wethers would still of been in 14. You make a good point which makes George's choices even more baffling as Ostergaard could of taken a ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ully could have taken a ride and Max only used to replace riders that were struggling. A suppose no-one knows exactly how riders are gonna perform, but once the meeting gets started, its down to hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffdiamond Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Did say that we needed adequate cover for TJ and Lasse for this one, 7 points r/r is acceptable for one, but zero for the other one isn't !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
