Some friends and I were discussing the possibility of Cookie guesting. He has had so many very ‘ordinary’ performances back at the NSS since leaving, though, I’m not sure whether we’d even be thinking about him had it not been for his British Final showing. He obviously was in the right mindset last Sunday and looked very good. I reckon ‘that Craig Cook’ would probably have the beating of all the Ipswich riders at the NSS other than Doyley. How would he go at Foxhall Heath though from the No.1 position? It may be a few seasons ago now, but would Cookie be ‘up’ for riding for the Aces if there is still any animosity remaining between him and Lemo?

Arch Stanton Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Normally get a meeting preview on the Ipswich website Tuesday morning at the latest for a Thursday meeting and still nothing as yet. Must be waiting on news from Belle Vue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was talking about at Ipswich not at NSS, would have Klindt or Pickering at NSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the Aces swap the riding order and put the 2nd in the averages at No1 and put any guest or RR in another riding number? No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we retain Doyle, we’re gonna need a fair few on low looking averages. Tungate and Riss also look appealing to me on those figures. If our final meeting at Sheffield does get run, we need all 7 having an absolute stinker to help further. Mind you, Sheffield will be thinking the same so it could in theory be a keystone cops meeting and a bit of a farce!

Possibly, although Louis said last winter that the idea was to loan him out for a couple of years not the one. Has to be some concern with the lack of progress as well. The thought was he needed a move from Ipswich as riding his home town track was putting too much pressure on him. If anything, he’s moved away and gotten worse! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think people said that Belle Vue was such a “fair track” and that there was little to none home advantage. LOL. How many 60+ scores have you had at home Phil? And yet without looking at the stats, I’m guessing your away record is one of if not THE worst in the top 4?? That tells you everything you need to know about your home advantage. Keep in within 20 at Foxhall and you’ll still be favourites to progress. 1 hour ago, Roger Jacobs said: He will be riding at Ipswich against the Witches ... Why do you constantly keep doing this as if the Witches are some sh!te team that finished bottom? Despite on Eurosport Monday night with Stead, Tatum, and the other presenters claiming every 5 minutes that they had “won the league”, “finished top” etc etc, they’ve done no such thing! Now if Sheffield beat Ipswich in Ipswich’ last remaining fixture then they’ll have achieved that. But that’s not yet settled is it. You’re doing Ipswich a disservice, good side as the table suggests, (joint top on points), but the home advantage Belle Vue have will see them through to the final.

Cook always leaves it too late, I expect better from him tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
