Who owns Jacek Rempala?

[admin]

It might seem like a simple enough question, but it seems that two British clubs are claiming that our hero the Weirdity is their asset. They are Berwick and Ipswich.
Here's an article from the Berwick Advertiser:

Please note that Berwick promoter, and general all-round bad guy according to some, Peter Waite is quoted as saying "Jac [Rempala] and Stan [Burza] have both been released and will be available to ride elsewhere on loan in 2008."

Meanwhile, here's a news item from the Ispwich website:

www.ipswich-witches.com/latestnews=041007.htm

Please note that the article states "An Ipswich asset, he [Jacek Rempala] rode for the Witches for a while in 1992."

So, at the risk of sounding obtuse, who the fuck owns Jacek Rempala?

As I posted on the BSF, Jacek Rempala only completed four official meeings for Ipswich back in 1992, so I can't see how he can be considered to be their asset.

Ah but remember, young h, in 1992 the rules governing requirements to become an asset were different to now - the twelve meeting rule was introduced fairly recently and before that I think you just had to ride once and you were an asset. So, as long as Ipswich kept putting Jacek Rempala down in their "retained list", I'd imagine they'd have a case.
But, in reality, how good a claim is it?
For fifteen years Ipswich showed little or no interest in Rempala and Rempala showed a similar lack of interest - he may even have forgotten about it.
Just shows what a joke the asset system in the UK is.

Yeah I know the 12 meeting rule is a recent innovation, but I thought prior to that a rider had to ride six official meetings to become an asset?

Who knows?
But surely after ten years have passed without either party showing an interest in the other, save for dutifully listing the rider as "retained", a rider should be regarded as a free agent?

Can't argue with that one - genghis will though.

Berwick did indeed get a Payment from Coventry for Jack's service's although I think Ipswich had a lot to say for it as they believed Jack was their asset and they had loaned him to Berwick for free lol

Not 100% sure but from what i can remember at the end of last season when Jac injured his back he was not classed as a Berwick asset as he had not completed enough races but would become one if he rode in 2007 for Berwick.

Peter could well be making money on Jac and Stan next season if indeed they are both Berwick Assets as it would allow him to make some extra dosh throughout the season when all the fans are pissed of with the riders not trying and don't show up every Saturday Night ;D
