Both Jaimon and Emil put around 3 points on their starting average when including BP’s. That's already happend, both Pawlicki & Milik signed on higher assessed averages this year. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleJ Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Looking forward to visiting tomorrow. Went to practise day last week and the supporters club event - now can’t wait to get some proper racing underway. I think it’ll be an Ipswich win but not by a massive amount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Do Belle Vue not do meeting previews on their website?? Ipswich had theirs up Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 The possibility now of no Doyle swings this in Belle Vues favour if he ride though r/r should get us maybe 8 from 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 (edited) 15 hours ago, Aries said: 13 rides at Foxhall over three meetings last year, he won one heat. 8 from 5, 4 from 4 and 5 from 4. That’s nowhere near good enough from a rider of his quality whether he likes the track or not. Belle Vue still won both league meetings though despite Bewley underperforming so if he gets his act together it could be close. The issue Belle Vue have though is on both those victories, they had Lidsey and then Brennan scoring double figures at reserve, this time they have Mountain who also hates Foxhall and struggles with it. In the play off semi they had Blodorn at reserve who scored 3 points from 5 rides and they got battered. Just again proves that a high scoring reserve wins you meetings. Last year in the round 1 Fixture the Witches didn't have much backup to Emil and Jason and the Aces won the match effectively with a 5-1 in heat 12 which was a real bad heat for the Witches on more than one occasion last year! In the 2 Fixture it was much closer but Kurtz, I think, surprised most of Foxhall when having been on a 5-1 in heat 13 shot out of the traps to win heat 15 - again the Witches conceded a 5-1 in heat 12! Kurtz managed to get 2 wins against Emil and Jason last year which was probably about as good as any visiting rider at Foxhall v's them - so definitely no room for complacency. However on the plus for the Witches is no Charles Wright for the Aces who seems to go well at Foxhall! Still looking forward to it!

MP78 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Should be an entertaining opener... I thought 50 ish with Doyle in the side, but can still Witches edging it with a guest such as Nicholls... If R/R, I'm not so sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted March 21 Author Report Share Posted March 21 Huge blow if Doyle is missing. Nicholls over R/R every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKM91 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Nicholls definitely in for Doyley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Aces were sharp out of the gate in the two fixtures last season so I’m hopeful they can keep it going to get the win. Tbh I’d be happy with a loss if we get more than 1 race per meeting as was the case last year. You’ll think me daft but I’d rather see an Aces loss after a rip roaring meeting than a gate ‘n’ go win. Hope all stay safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Doyle comfortably the best home rider in the league as the stats show. Rarely beaten at Foxhall. Belle Vue will sniff an opportunity here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Belle Vue fallen lucky with no Doyle for Ipswich (no disrespect to Scott Nicholls) for their visit to Foxhall, they can’t be as bad as their last visit there, can see this now being very close with a 2 point win for Belle Vue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 I think it now comes down to the respective engine rooms; King, Rew and Ellis v Lidsey, Cook and Blodorn. Witches with maybe a slight edge at reserve and the Aces with a slight edge at 1 & 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 (edited) Will be much closer now, BV to nick it in a last heat decider. Edited March 21 by TTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Head Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 I thought riders had to have had at least one official team meeting in the season to be entitled to a guest or R/R. Mr Doyle hasn’t. Please clarify for me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
