Can't do irr either so reserves have to take his rides.Plymouth must have run over loads of black cats in Devon!!! (Did someone mention karma?) And now Bowtell in ambulance with damaged knee after heat 1 stoppage and now withdrawn. Nb its started to spit with rain.

I would not be happy if I had travelled up from Devon for this. I would not be happy if I was an Oxford supporter and have paid good money to go and watch this. I hope there is a proper inquiry into why Barker was suddenly unfit and the results published. All that way from Plymouth , and their supporters are left short changed. Another example of our shambolic sport in this country. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are maybe best off staying quiet until it,s explained why barker withdrew. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be happy travelling from Swindon, Reading, Coventry etc., either, plus the few up from Devon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly a massacre after 12 heats. But of an over reaction from some. Whatever the reason for Barker not riding will have to come out in the wash as they say. Shame about Bowtell. He'd been riding very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technik Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 It was announced he was medicaly unfit to ride & just before the start he left in his van going out the gate at the 4th turn. He looked sick in the passenger seat holding his head. I understand Paul Starkes Father was also ill during the meeting so maybe there's an illness going around.
