Going update - GOOD TO SOFT. Dry until the weekend when light rain expected (up to 3mm). |
|
By:
Bit grey out there today lads. No rain as yet.
|
|
By:
Any updates, Mr Eboue,
Thanks |
|
By:
if any good ground appearing today then there's got to be a chance of good, g/s in places by tues
I expected the ground to be soft side of good to soft at this stage, not bordering on good side of good to soft, and I think the market has factored in the rain that was forecast this week and not the rain that has actually materialised |
|
By:
This time last year was supposedly soft ground on the saturday and dried out to good to soft which was in reality probably good
Good looks reasonable punt @ this stage @ the price. |
|
By:
the problem is this market is what he calls the ground, not what the ground actually is
but if they get just drizzle on sunday then its going to be borderline even for claisse (will be genuine good ground) |
|
By:
Cloudy and dry today. Not particularly warm.
|
|
By:
Hes not averse to calling it Good/ Good to soft ip 2004/2005 good good/good to soft ip 2011/2012.
If its forecast a dryish week during the meeting can quite easily see him calling good as the lead as then gives him the pr stance/oppourtunity to unleash his hose pipe during the festival |
|
By:
he's not averse to it geoff but prefers to call it g/s at the start
|
|
By:

Cheltenham's clerk of the course Simon Claisse says watering the course is not "in our current thinking" following a spell of dry weather.
Conditions remained unchanged at Cheltenham on Saturday as only a little rain has been forecast ahead of the four-day Festival that starts on Tuesday. The question of watering has not yet come up, with clerk of the course Simon Claisse at this stage looking mainly towards the beginning of the meeting. "I'm leaving the old and new courses as good to soft, and the cross-country course is still good to soft, good in places," said clerk of the course Simon Claisse. "The outlook remains mostly dry, although we might get a little light rain. Watering is not in our current thinking. We are only looking to the beginning of the week." |

By:
Lets hope so and we get top class racing on decent ground
|
|
By:
Reckon they will be watering later in the week.

A dry night left the going unchanged at Cheltenham on Monday morning as Simon Claisse and his team prepare for the biggest four days of the jumping calendar.
Conditions remain good to soft on the Old and New courses, and good to soft, good in places on the cross-country track. |
|
By:
track aint dried out despite the last 3 days being predominately dry
somebody has been watering on the quiet |
|
By:
rained yesterday wonder
|
|
By:
2mm
|
|
By:
Hendo said last night plenty of soft spots on the course, hmmmmmmmm I know what I believe
|
|
By:
stick was 6.7 on weds, its barely rained at all and that track dries its nuts off when it doesn't take water
conclusion: has to have watered |
|
By:
still going 2/11 for g/s PF, already out long before today @ 1/4 but if ever you are going to bet 2/11 surely this is it
and I am not much of an odds on backer |
|
By:
inconceivable that it won't be g/s, good places tomorrow
|
|
By:
and make no mistake that new course is getting a f ckload of water on it between now and thurs because if they don't that will be knocking on actual good, g/f places by friday with a dry week forecast
|
|
By:
then he will water Wednesday night, the rain will come on Friday on watered ground and fack up my Ivanovic Gorbatov punt
 |
|
By:
Just been up the racecourse. Hard to believe it's mid-March.
Blue skies and really warm sunshine. The best day of the year so far. |
