Yeah, could be. Or he is just prioritising Glasgow as he not going to want to miss tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean he's probably the best of the available options and on a given league meeting be fine with it..but was hoping Ben would go close to going through the card if we were to get back in it. Sedgy I can't see doing that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinderfella Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 From what I've read about Ben's injury it seems he had one of his knuckles dislocated by a bit of flying shale. 2 questions is that is the case: How do pieces of shale large enough to inflict such damage reach the track? Riders seem to use much thinner gloves these say which obviously don't offer much protection. Should stronger gloves that do offer protection, such as the old leather style with rubber strips, be made compulsory? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember years ago one of the track staff spotting something on the track at Ashfield and pulling up a small piece of barbed wire from under the shale. All sorts of small objects can get into the shale before it's laid. Could have been a small ball bearing, anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
