Would we have priority considering it is our race night if Poole decide to run jubilee meeting next Weds? Haven't seen any confirmation when it is meant to be run. As wasn't it supposed to be today before playoff final was rained off last week. Maybe this is the end of "protected" race nights? . Just goes to show what a farce it is (trying to) running meetings at the back end of October. It happens every year, yet they don't do anything about it. I'm half glad I'm out of it all, but if the Diamonds did return (I know it ain't gonna happen) I'd be there in a flash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 At this time of year maybe it's worth trying to use farmyard manure to help prepare tracks? A good few tons spread evenly on top should dry quite quickly especially in a week like this one, with the semi-digested straw content absorbing moisture from the saturated clay beneath. Then it would be a case of grading it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Poole's track copes well with the rain, they have manure riding on it every week (sorry, couldn't resist). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As wasn't it supposed to be today before playoff final was rained off last week. Jason Edwards has been told he must go to Sheffield * Belle Vue for one reserve ride, rather than take up to 12 rides at Mildenhall in their final double header tomorrow, so that would suggest Poole and Leicester ought to get priority over Lawson, R Worrall and Mountain. But that's me naively assuming that decisions will be made on a logically consistent basis. * Edited to correct error on my part.

Big call Think I would have put Mountain at No5 if there was to be a radical change in riding order,he has been riding well recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
