Rob B Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 With Belle Vue missing Charles Wright it will be extremely difficult, as shown on Thursday R/R won’t cover for him. So much depends on Norick Blodorn who will be having 6 rides but he had another crash on Saturday to go with his concussion last week, shouldn’t be riding in my opinion, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldace Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Agree about Norick, can't be fit and has been a bit off the boil of late. I'd try to get Ben Cook in, good gater, fast and has a smooth style that suits the NSS. I'd be looking at him for next year. In my opinion he's in the Tungate, Bjerre and Lydsey mould so likely to score well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 No weather issues today it’s sunny and breezy 19 degrees this afternoon. Racing will be a lot better then Thursday whatever the score is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedtiger Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 This will be tough ask for BV but it’s been done before. We need a good start four straight 5-1’s would do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz325 Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hopefully Connor Bailey will score well tonight he was fast at Glasgow on Saturday passing Tarasenko in his first race. Hope Belle vue keep it close and fight till the end , war of attrition this time of year with multiple fixtures, injuries and rider fatigue.

If Those two do their jobs, the other five need to produce very little between them for Ipswich to progress. Their ten rides should easily yield 23 points as a minimum so just 14 needed from the rest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Ipswich won by 18 at Foxhall so no reason why the Aces can't do that tonight - don't think R/R will hamper them too much, their reserves perform well at home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree in principle but meetings are not won and lost based on averages / assumptions based on how good x or y is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 This will depend massively on what Doyle does. Hasn’t been great around the NSS this season and could have a hangover from that nasty crash last weekend still. If he’s on song it’ll take a big performance from Belle Vue to take the aggregate win.

Yes, and as I mentioned in a previous post, the vast majority of injuries have come on foreign soil. Only Woffy's injury has come on home soil and even that was a GP round and not a Premier/Championship League meeting. Faster tracks abroad with more pressure = greater risk of injury?

No they are not but it is a good guide. Bewley or Kurtz could easily beat Emil and Doyle . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
