SUPERACE Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 I see we have moved Charles r/r to number 2 which is a smart move. We did the same last year, give us more choices of who and when we use riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lidsey will more than likely ride heat 8 which is always handy… Lemon may choose to use Lidsey in both heats 12 & 14 instead though but that’s less likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see who he puts in heat 1, personally I'd go Blodhorn. Edited September 21, 2023 by SUPERACE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, if RR was at 4 then Lidsey would have no choice but to ride 12 & 14… RR at 2 gives Lemon the option of using Lidsey in 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Gotta feel for the Witches (or any team losing riders for the play offs) as besides someone like Lambert or Laguta there isn’t a like for like replacement. Bomber sadly is a poor replacement even tho he will either be a match winner or score 3. The Aces again have the luck with them as missing Wright probably strengthens them a little. Still prefer to see 7 man teams tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces not having Wright doesn’t strengthen them at all, he rides Foxhall very well… he scored paid 9 and paid 10 in his 2 meetings at Foxhall this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKM91 Posted September 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 I wonder why Witches didn’t use Rowe as guest rising star instead of Jack Smith? He’s in great form!… Unless he declined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon1983 Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 I see this as 42-42 going into the Final Heat Unless Kurtz has an absolute stinker, he is the key man for the Aces tonight, capable of beating Emil around Foxhall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Aces not having Wright at the NSS strengthens them either tbh… Wright is a loss in both legs, but Doyley obviously a much bigger loss for Ipswich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's their own fault if it comes back to haunt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Think the loss of Doyle will be too much for Ipswich to overcome. Ipswich 43 - 47 Belle Vue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Doyle missing offsets us missing Charles, and we usually ride Foxhall well, I expect Dan to step up with a big score tonight. You reckon?

Bash Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Think some Belle Vue fans are making up excuses if they lose to a weakened Ipswich team. Ipswich are the underdogs after losing Doyle. We have had to replace him with a riser almost 2.5 under his average, whereas they are using RR and one of his rides is taken by a higher average rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
