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.

Me too. After in first ride R/R a lucky point then 2 coconuts for me should have been replaced by Max.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.

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 ;)

Even worse than that was Clegg didnt come in for heat 8 instead of Phillips (I am sure can make a reserve change in protected race). He was that bad in first 2 it wouldnt of made a difference if in the huff :lol:

If Clegg was in ht8, it would've meant Danny still had to have his 3rd ride tho (ht14),,, was Ully not in the running for a r/r ?

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!

Choices are probly made at the time, sometimes they'll work and sometimes not. 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.

Not many options, we've got a no.8,,,, who at least might have gained some credibility.

He was at the meeting riding in a Gem's NJL meeting after the main meeting.
