Bluenose Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 ALL RIDERS SHOULD HAVE 3 RIDES So by the rules he should of not been covered by the other reserve for his last ride of 3 ? OR 4 ? Was not reported as hitting the fence or injured ?, on !updates! Or was made IRR?. MATCH SHOULD be re-run....simple, HAVE I GOT IT WRONG?.

HELP The minimum ride rule (three rides, not four) doesn’t apply if a rider is withdrawn through injury, which is presumably the case here. IRR doesn’t apply to reserves. Updates, while a valuable resource, are not an official record of a meeting. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is moot whether Dugard and Embleton's injuries were fresh. If they were 'aggravating old injuries then neither should have been replaced in heat 14.

Spittaler Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 It was announced on PA during meeting last night that both Dugard and EMBLETON were withdrawn on medical advices so that reason Josh only rode twice He belted into fence in early race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsey Dugard didn't hit the fence or anything and didn't have 3 rides. Unless I'm mistaken, it was said Dugard had reinjured himself (shoulder I think). Should the problem about having 3 rides not be directed in that area (obviously not injured in the meeting). It was a probationary ref so should be up on the rules you would think (referee on centre green according to Dick during the parade).

The two rides for Embleton seems entirely justifiable, but I am struggling to see how Woods was allowed to replace Dugard in heat 14.

Are you suggesting an injured rider should be forced to take 3 rides if he wasn't injured within that meeting? It's not like Oxford gained an advantage from dropping Kelsey for Sam Woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the rules, but has it actually been said that Dugard aggravated an old injury as opposed to sustaining a new one, or is this all pure speculation? There certainly wasn’t anything wrong with him at Edinburgh the night before. Edit: Looks like Oxford has now said it was a recurrence of an old injury. Oops.

Bluenose Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Sorry, have followed Updates since they started, but have trusted them overall in their reporting i had come home from local club so a bit inebriated!. Sorry. Official Post From the Berwick site. Josh Embleton suffered a less than happy birthday as the effects of his huge crash against the Comets two weeks ago forced him to withdraw after two tough races. He aggravated his injury when clouting the home straight fence in heat two and was signed out of the meeting by the medical personnel.

So Oxford has clarified the Dugard situation, stating the following: Cheetahs were hit by the withdrawal of Kelsey Dugard after two rides with a reoccurrence of an arm injury. Looks like both Embleton and Dugard aggravated old injuries and neither should have been replaced in heat 14! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a mistake was made just remove the reserve replacement for the missing riders 4th ride. Leicester vs Kent was ridden with 2 Kent riders in the wrong positions (Naylor & King) but there's been nothing said about that from the BSPL I've seen? Probably because they don't want to admit they made a mistake with the team decelerations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was agreed between both teams and the referee before the meeting started then it's all OK (providing one of them wasn't supposed to be at number one or a reserve by average).
