Guest compost Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Been looking through the Researcher files at 1929 and noticed the number of heats where the riders tied for a place. Not a surprise in itself, what with the lack of technology etc to help the ref make a decision, however we now get to my question - Has anyone ever come across a three (or more) way tied heat finish (i.e. 3 riders given the same place) ? Not come across it myself but I wondered if it has ever happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WembleyLion Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Never in Speedway to my knowledge but has happened in horse racing and greyhound racing a fair bit! In Speedway we rarely get dead heats given these days. I have seen about 15 in 49 years of watching of which all but one were over 25 years ago!

Robbie B Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Not impossible to have a three rider dead heat, but I do not know of such an event. Although, I would loved to have seen a race that had one of these events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
