The promotion thought they had got it perfect It wasnt.....as Chris Louis said they over watered Good to see a promoter firstly admitting they got it wrong ............then secondly issuing a public apology to all riders and fans Ipswich might not be the best 'race' track as shown on the tv meeting................but its usually well prepared and not dangerous Have any of the Poole promotion ever admitted that they have messed up? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I suppose one thing can be learnt from this,,,,, never go on social media telling everyone how perfect the track is,,,,, you are ever going to set yourself up for a big fall.

Still despite being overwatered it was smooth no potholes you can lose small horse in like on the south coast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would tend to agree, since the changes to the track I think it is a great shape for Premiership racing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rode as reserve at our place and got 2.....so highly unlikely he would have got much more from the harder number 3 position Hans R/R got 3...................yet Ipswich only got 5 from replacements for KP and Allen....who would likely have been good for an awful lot more Peterborough fans blaming the bad guest and r/r for their loss yet somehow forgetting how much Ipswich were weakened KP and Allen at home this season have scored 13,13,20,13,11 (jake missed his last ride) So we would normally have got 13 and we got 5 so we were 8 points down. Hans r/r got 3 so it evened out This is all based on assuming that the missing riders would score exactly what your thinking, im sure if Peterborough had won and Ipswich's guests were poor Ipswich fans would bemoan the lack of some possible points.

Your missing the point Some Panthers fans are saying that the loss of Hans cost them points......i would say obviously yes maybe 8 or 9 points What im saying is that the loss of Allen and KP also cost Ipswich maybe 8 or 9 points. Now obviously KP and Allen could have had bad nights and scored only 7 between them but all the facts point to them getting at least 13 But on the other hand Hans could have only scored 7 or 8 as well. We can only go on what we know and that is that based on all known form both teams lost around 7 or 8 from the replacements thus making the scoreline probably correct If Peterborough had of won last night with R/R only getting 3 and Ipswich only getting 5 from Garcia and R/R................then we couldnt moan about the guests because Peterborough had the same handicap..........it would have been another team member or 2 that would have cost us.....for example Lawson or King only getting 6 or 7 Basically if our replacements scored 12 or 13 and R/R got you only 3 and you lost by 8 then yes you could say you missed Hans score that could have had an impact.........likewise if our replacements scored the 5 and R/R for Hans got you 11 or 12 and we lost then yes we could moan about our guests and R/R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I doubt Hans would have scored many more if any more than 3,,,,he would gone out in heat one rode like a girl on a track like it was last night. And then would have thrown his toys out his pram all night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. The point you're missing is that sometimes it's better just to read, chuckle and move on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted June 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Thought this was an interesting (and beautiful) picture from Jeff Higgott. This taken after the meeting, and just shows how much rain had fallen the previous evening and through the early hours of the morning. The track staff did well. The picture btw is taken from the infield half way down the back straight where Bob Ellis parks his tractor.
